Organic Slug Pellets. Safe and Effective Garden Protection

Organic, Pet-Friendly Slug Pellets for Safe and Effective Garden Protection

These pet-friendly organic slug pellets provide powerful protection for fruit, vegetables, flowers and ornamental plants on the soil surface in your garden or under glass. Ideal for Hostas, bedding plants, strawberries, lettuce, cabbages and more, these pellets stop slugs from feeding while remaining safe for children, pets, and wildlife. Approved for organic gardening, they offer a natural solution without synthetic chemicals.

What Are These Organic Slug Pellets Made From?

These pellets contain Ferric phosphate, a naturally occurring active ingredient widely recognised as one of the safest and most effective slug controls available.

• Formulated as blue granular bait

• Contains 10g/kg hydrated ferric phosphate

• At least 7.02g/kg anhydrous ferric phosphate
  This natural compound breaks down into iron and phosphate, returning beneficial nutrients to the soil as the pellets biodegrade.

How Do Organic Slug Pellets Work?

These pellets work exactly where slugs cause the most damage — on the soil surface. When the pellets absorb moisture from soil or humidity, they swell and attract slugs, encouraging them to feed.
Once consumed:

• Slugs stop feeding immediately

• They retreat underground or into secluded areas

• They die naturally without leaving slime trails or carcasses on the soil

Safe for Wildlife, Pets, and Beneficial Insects

Ferric phosphate is non-toxic to birds, bees, hedgehogs and other garden wildlife, making it one of the safest choices for eco-friendly gardeners. These pellets are pet-friendly, giving peace of mind around cats, dogs and small animals.

Best Time to Apply Slug Pellets

Apply at the first signs of plant damage, ideally:

• Late evening or

• Early morning
  These are peak slug activity periods, ensuring maximum effectiveness.
