Flower PowerRichard Jackson Organic Slug & Snail Control, Natural Metaldehyde-Free Pellets, Rain Resistant, An Effective Way to Protect Your Plants & Vegetables (600g)

All of my plants have been devoured by slugs every year and it is heartbreaking to see. I have started planting slug resistant plants now but I still have other plants which they eat. Every night I would go out with torch in hand and pick up the slugs. It was relentless and exhausting as I have a large garden. Fast forward to Richard Jackson’s slug control. Applied probably too much initially but the slugs chomped on them and actually ignored my plants. The photo above was taken during a rainy afternoon. I did see the slug eating the pellet, in the second photo he was moving very slowly (more than usual) away and hid under a bit of bark (bottom left of pic). Can I say that he didn't look very well 😬. Anyway, the next day I found him just below soil level dead. My little Rudbeckia plant (green matchstick in photo) is now starting to grow. There have been no sign of slugs or snails and no trails to see. I did apply the pellets every night for 4 nights and haven't done so since. On the downside, the Magpies eat the pellets. I caught one inside a large pot with a Hosta and he ate every one. Not harmful to wildlife (Mr Magpie is still visiting my Hosta) which was so important to me. If not consumed, the pellets turn white-ish in colour and break down to help your soil, so its a win win. Bit expensive but I would definitely recommend these.

Does the job, but the pack seems unnecessarily large. Lots of slugs in my garden and I'm now armed for the next ten years.

Works brilliantly, safe for kids and dogs, effective removal of pests and good for plant health.

works well, highly recommend

Does it kill slugs and snails? Yes. But it also kills everything else. I found lots of dying worms at the surface, bloodied bloated and bursted, in obviously pain. These worms are essential to the garden as they compost dead matter. Will not buy again.

Don’t really know how to rate these. They work well but I discovered the squirrels in my garden devouring them this morning. The slugs will go underground after eating them so the birds don’t eat the slugs but seemingly squirrels love slug pellets. They are of course harmful to wildlife so I found myself trying to clear them up at 7 o’clock this morning. If you value the wildlife in your garden be very careful.

I purchased these again to help control the vast amount of slugs and snails in our garden. Have been using these before (five + years) and they really work and are kind and safe to animals, insects, birds etc who visit the garden. A superb product.

Thought my vegetables were gone, saved by this product. No smell, no dead slugs visible so does as says, they go back into the soil. Animal safe too. Great value and peace of mind, quality as always from Richard Jackson.
