Most people do not understand the dangers of traditional Slug Pellets, so this article will explain what traditional Slug Pellets are and how they differ from Slug Gone Pure Wool Pellets, the friendly alternative to traditional Slug Pellets.

The Dangers of Traditional Slug Pellets

Slug Pellets, usually a bright blue in colour work when the slug (or snail) ingest parts of the pellet. It has been said that Slug Pellets are blue in colour to prevent birds from eating them, which sadly they have been know to still do. Slug Pellets are dangerous to both humans and animals if eaten, and there has been many reports of family pets dying due to a result of Slug Pellets being digested (read article here). In some cases Slug Pellets have been used to try and poison humans! (read article here)

Not all Slug Pellets will kill slugs, it completely depends on the amount used and the type of Slug Pellet, some Slug Pellets will repel slugs but as mentioned above can poison family pets and wildlife such as Birds, Hedgehogs and Frogs. Sometimes this is not by the fact that the animal has eaten the pellet but if they have actually eaten a poisoned slug.

Slug Gone Pure Wool Pellets – The friendly alternative to Slug Pellets

Slug Gone Pure Wool Pellets contain no harmful chemicals and are made purely from wool. Once the wool pellets have been scattered around the plant they need a good watering, this then creates the barrier around the plant. Slugs struggle to cross the sharp fibres from the wool, as it irratates the foot resulting in the Slug finding easier feeding methods, probably to chew on the neighbour's prize winning Hosta's!
