This guide is for gardeners seeking a safe and effective way to protect their plants from slugs and snails. The Green Protect Slug & Snail Barrier Pellets offer a chemical-free solution by creating a physical barrier. A key benefit is its eco-conscious formulation that deters rather than harms pests. One consideration is the need for reapplication after heavy rain.

No, these pellets are designed to deter slugs and snails by creating an uncomfortable surface for them to cross. They do not poison or harm the pests.
Ensure the barrier is continuous and free of gaps. Reapply if heavy rain has washed them away or if the barrier has been disturbed. Check if the pellets are still coarse and absorbent.
The barrier may need to be reapplied after heavy rainfall. Consider creating a slightly wider or more robust barrier if the area is particularly exposed to wind and rain.
Shake the bottle vigorously before use to redistribute the pellets. Store in a dry environment to prevent clumping.
Setup: Before application, shake the bottle to ensure even distribution of pellets. Remove any visible slugs and snails from the immediate area you intend to protect. Scatter the pellets to create a narrow, continuous barrier around the base of plants or the perimeter of garden beds. Aim for a barrier that is approximately 1.5 to 2cm wide and free of gaps.
Compatibility: These pellets are compatible with all types of garden plants, including vegetables, fruits, herbs, and ornamental flowers. They are safe to use in organic gardens and do not harm beneficial insects.
Care: Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

In such cases, reapplication may be necessary. At the end of the growing season, the pellets can be safely turned into the soil as they are biodegradable.
