Full Description
These solid Copper Slug and Snail Rings will last for many years and are simply placed around the plant where they form a barrier which slugs and snails will not cross. Slugs and snails hate copper because of reaction between their mucus and the copper. When the slugs and snails come into contact with the ring they are repelled and will crawl away. They are easy to use as a spring clip allows you to open the ring. Slip it around the stem and then press lightly into the soil. If you have larger plants, just link them together to make a bigger ring. Slug rings can be left in place all winter and will be ready to protect the first tender shoots in spring. After a few weeks, the copper slug rings take on a brown patina to blend into your garden. They are equally effective whether shiny and new, with a brown patina or even ancient green. Pack of 6 LARGE rings, which measure approx 17cm / 7″ in diameter.

Very good site for all things pest related. I’ve bought copper rings to deter slugs which have lasted well and do the job particularly well whist the plant is young and vulnerable. I’ve also tried nematodes, which work well for both slugs and Sciarid flies. I’ve had no problems ordering or with deliveries, very happy with the service.

Ordered some Large Copper Rings and tape (bulk pack of 10 rolls) and before I knew it they had been delivered earlier than expected. Will definitely use again. Excellent service. Thank you.

I love this company, as I’m a very keen gardener who cares about wildlife and the ecosystems in my environment. There are so many great ideas to help protect my plants, without harming species that are so vital to the food chain. Thanks to Green Gardener, I don’t need slug pellets, because I bought copper rings to protect my most tender plants and they work a treat! Plants that had been chewed to bits are now growing again and the birds won’t be poisoned when they eat the slugs and snails. I’ve also purchased Lady Bird larvae to fight against the aphids on my roses. I hope that mature adults will be flying about soon, as I remember fondly from my childhood. It’s wonderful to see the huge amount of natural products available in the catalogue to help me make my garden a truly green space. I now have peace of mind in knowing that I’m not using anything harmful for the environment.
