There's nothing quite so disappointing as checking on your latest vegetable, herb and flower seedlings to find half of them have gone! The usual suspects are snails and slugs, whose voracious appetites may see them consume dozens of young plants in a matter of hours. The pellets work best when scattered lightly around young plants to protect them, rather than in heaps, which could be attractive to domestic and native animals.

The Rock Yard can help you in choosing the right kind of pellet to get rid of those pesky snails and slugs.
