Vitax Slug Gone 10ltr
Slug Gone is the natural, organic way to keep slugs and snails away from plants. Popular amongst environmentally-conscious and organic gardeners, Slug Gone is 100% natural and derived from British wool.
Slug Gone is applied to the soil below the plant to create a irritating, absorbant mat that works as a natural slug repellant. It prevents slugs and snails from reaching the plant, whilst adding nutrients to the soil and locking in moisture.
Slug Gone:
- Biodegradable, contains naturally occurring slow release nutrients to help feed plants
- Its minute fibres form a mat which is an irritant to slugs and absorbs moisture from the slug’s foot
- Improves water retention.
Containing naturally occurring nutrients, Slug Gone consists of a biodegradable protein fibre which releases nitrogen, potassium, sulphur and other trace elements essential for plant growth.
To deter slugs and other gastropods, simply lay the pellets around the stems of plants. For best results, add Slug Gone in a 10cm radius around the plant, then add water to cause the fibres to bond.
The swollen wool pellets form a felt which makes it difficult for slugs to travel across. The wool pellet mat also contains abrasive particles which irritate the slug’s foot, physically deterring the slug and creating a 100% natural barrier.
Safe to use around children and pets, Slug Gone can also be used to protect against cabbage root fly.

Our Approach
In terms of delivery methods and costs, we aim to be as transparent as possible with our costs and be as honest as possible with the timescales that we can get your orders out to you. We do not boast about being the cheapest or the quickest but aim to provide you with quality products at as cost effective price that we can, delivered within reasonable timescales aimed at building long term customer satisfaction.
How Quickly Will My Order Be Dispatched?
We aim to collate and dispatch your order within 5 working days of us receiving it. Our various delivery partners aim to deliver your order within three working days of us dispatching it. We will always aim to meet this deadline but during extended holiday periods or times of inclement weather this time frame may be extended.
Who Will Deliver My Order?
Due to the complex amount of products, sizes, weights and quantities it is impossible for us to use one delivery partner. Therefore, we aim to use the following delivery channels depending on your orders weight:-
For orders under 2kg will usually be delivered by Royal Mail. Unless they are items like weedkillers and pesticides that will be delivered by DHL*
For orders between 2.1kg and 100kg will be delivered by either Parcelforce or DHL*
For orders over 100kg will be delivered by Pallet Force Network*
*The time it takes to deliver your goods will be down to the delivery partners ability to reach your post code area and them actually being able to deliver the order but if you have not received your goods within 10 days of ordering, please make contact with us immediately in order for us to investigate the problem.
Are There Any Areas That You Cannot Deliver To?
Due to the weight of some of our products, if purchased in large quantities, it would make it financially unviable to deliver to certain Post Code areas. As a matter of course we do not delivery outside of the United Kingdom.

Up to 2kg we can deliver to all of England, Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland.
