A natural and harmless barrier to slugs and snails.
Lay plenty of wool pellets around the base of the plant and water in. You need to be generous with the pellets so be brave! As the wool swells, it forms a protective 'mat' around the stems which contain minute abrasive fibres that slugs don't like - it irritates the slugs foot as well as drawing moisture out of it, so they will stay away.
Added benefits to the soil include improved moisture retention, weed suppression and the slow release of naturally beneficial nutrients into the soil.

Slug-repelling Wool Pellets reviews
Reviewed 20th April 2020 by Michelle These wool pellets are amazing. So far no slug or snail damage to previously decimated tender plants. I can put these down guilt free since they don’t harm the environment or animals. As always the customer service is great. So grateful for my deliveries in these uncertain times. Thank you. |
Reviewed 11th August 2019 by Shirley Received order quickly, used for a couple of plants which seemed successful. I have not had too much problem with slugs and snails this year for some reason but have them to hand if necessary. Fine dry weather could have helped. |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Ulrike worked perfectly on slugs lasted a long time around the plants. Would recommend to buy bigger bag as it is empty in no time in my fairly small garden. |

Reviewed 1st June 2019 by Carolyn Good, a thin layer of pellets, watered, is enough to keep slugs and snails at bay. |
Reviewed 31st May 2019 by Neetha These pellets really work my plants have been slug free |
Reviewed 31st May 2019 by Mary System on line easy and straight forward to navigate. Wool pellets although not entirely impeding slugs are certainly making it much easier to control them. Hostas surviving so much better than last year. Also they are safe for our dog. |
Slug repellent - new Labrador treat?
Reviewed 17th July 2018 by Ja
Delighted to have an alternative to poisonous slug killers - can only be used when greedy labradors not present however. |
Best slug repellent yet
Reviewed 30th July 2016 by Susan Alexander My dahlias in pots had been shredded. But after a good covering of wool pellets, there has been no recurrence. At the same time, I have been using other types of slug repellents including copper tape, egg shells etc, but none of these have had any success. I shall be buying more wool pellets next year as this has been so successful. |
slug repellent
Reviewed 4th May 2016 by Lynnette Waterman Since putting this wool around plants, not a nibble from slugs or snails. I have never found anything as good as this, plus it will not harm wildlife. Yes it does smell a bit but wash your hands and problem gone. Absolutely brilliant, I am going to order more. |
Stinky pellets
Reviewed 27th July 2015 by Lucy Very pungent pellets and they have kept the slugs away. However my two dogs have found the smell irresistable so what has been saved from the slugs has been trappled by dogs. |
Wool pellets
Reviewed 5th June 2015 by catriona mowat I am astounded. Most of my dahlias now have a cozy woollen blanket and have recovered beautifully from the one night of slug debauchery that happened a couple of weeks ago. Not a nibble since. Just wash your hands afterwards as they really do smell like a hike on the fells. |
wool pellets
Reviewed 2nd October 2014 by cate I used these on a raised bed and there were no snails eating my veg. I found the smell a bit strong. They need to be replaced after a few months, as when I didn't my kale was stripped! |
Fabulous results
Reviewed 5th August 2014 by Eileen Wright Tried this on dahlias which were being decimated by slugs - plant had almost disappeared! After a short time the dahlias have recovered beautifully and are now in flower. Missed out one plant and it looks like a skeleton - surely a good control experiment. I am ordering 5 packets today to give to friends and to have to hand for the little slug devils. This is an amazing discovery as I am a WOOL LOVER. |
