FAQs

Are these pellets safe for dogs and cats?

Yes, they are made from natural wool and contain no chemical toxins, making them safe for household pets.

Do I need to reapply the pellets after it rains?

While the pellets are durable, heavy rainfall may thin the barrier over time. Inspect the area periodically and add more if the ground becomes exposed.

How long do the nutrients last in the soil?

The wool breaks down slowly, providing a steady release of nutrients throughout the growing season.

Can I use these in raised beds?

Yes, these pellets are ideal for raised beds, especially when applied around the perimeter of specific plants.

Will this product work in pots?

Absolutely. Covering the surface of a container with a layer of wool pellets is an excellent way to prevent slugs from accessing your potted plants.

Are these pellets sustainable?

Yes, the product is 100% British made and utilizes natural wool as a renewable resource.

Troubleshooting

Slugs are still reaching the plants.

Check that the 10cm wide band is complete and free of gaps. If rain has washed the pellets away, reapply to restore the barrier.

Pellets are blowing away in windy conditions.

Ensure the pellets are watered immediately after application so they expand and stick to the soil surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Completely free of harsh chemical pesticides
Provides a secondary benefit as an organic mulch
Safe for use around pets and children
Improves soil health through natural nutrient release

Cons

Requires significant watering to activate the barrier

Expansion volume can be surprising if initially over-applied

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To apply, clear the area immediately surrounding your plant to remove existing pests. Place a 10cm wide band of the wool pellets around the base of the plant, ensuring there are no gaps that pests could crawl through. For containers, cover the entire exposed surface area with an even layer of pellets.

Once in place, water the pellets generously. The water is critical for the expansion process, which locks the pellets together into a stable, effective barrier. If you notice the pellets becoming too thin or breaking down significantly after several weeks of heavy rain, add a fresh top-up layer to maintain the 10cm density. The product is compatible with all soil types and most plant varieties, including flowers, vegetables, and ornamental shrubs.
