Doff Slugs Be Gone 3 in 1 Wool Pellets Pesticide Free Slug Deterrent 1 Litre Bag - DP1096
Barcode: 5053249240190
MPN: DP1096
Overview:
Doff Slugs Be Gone 3 in 1 pesticide-free Wool Pellet slug deterrent designed to help protect garden plants naturally. When watered, the wool pellets swell to form a felt-like protective mat around the base of plants. This barrier contains tiny abrasive fibres and particles that irritate slugs and make it harder for them to cross, helping reduce damage to vulnerable plants without the use of chemical pesticides.
As well as helping deter slugs, these natural wool pellets also offer added gardening benefits. They help bind the soil surface, improve moisture retention and can reduce the need for frequent watering in pots, baskets, tubs and flower beds. As the wool slowly breaks down, it also releases beneficial nutrients into the soil, making it a practical 3 in 1 solution for fruits, vegetables, ornamentals and other garden plants.

Doff Slugs Be Gone 3 in 1 Wool Pellets 1 Litre – Key FAQs
How do Doff Slugs Be Gone Wool Pellets work?
The pellets swell when watered to form a felt-like mat with abrasive fibres that irritate slugs and make it harder for them to cross.
Is this a chemical slug killer?
No, this is a pesticide-free slug deterrent designed to help protect plants naturally without using traditional slug pellets.
What types of plants can it be used around?
It is suitable for fruits, vegetables, ornamentals and many other garden plants in beds, borders, pots and baskets.
Does it help with anything other than slug protection?
Yes, it also helps retain moisture around plants and slowly adds beneficial nutrients to the soil as the wool breaks down.
Can I use it in pots and hanging baskets?
Yes, it is ideal for pots, tubs, baskets and other containers where plants may benefit from both slug protection and moisture retention.
Do I need to water the pellets after applying them?
Yes, watering helps the pellets expand and form the protective mat needed for best results.
How wide should the barrier be?
Apply the pellets in a generous band around the plant. A slightly wider barrier is recommended, as larger snails may be able to cross a narrow ring.
Will the wool pellets break down over time?
Yes, the material naturally degrades and releases useful nutrients back into the soil as it breaks down.
Important Notice:
Always read the label prior to use. For best results, apply a wide enough barrier around the plant, as a very narrow ring may not stop larger snails from reaching the foliage.
