What are Slug Rings?

Slug Rings are solid copper rings that sit neatly around your plants to keep slugs and snails out. These pesky pests can’t stand crawling on copper, so the rings form a gentle but highly effective barrier. There are no chemicals, no traps, and no harm caused — just a safe, wildlife-friendly way to protect your plants.

Sustainable and simple to use

Each Slug Ring will last a lifetime, so you can use them year after year, season after season.
They come in two handy sizes:

• Small (10 cm / 4 in) — ideal for seedlings and single-stem plants.

• Large (17 cm / 7 in) — perfect for lettuces, delphiniums, and lupins.

Need something bigger? No problem — you can easily join two rings together for larger plants like hostas. Fitting them is quick and easy — just pop them over your plants and you’re good to grow!

Made by gardeners, for gardeners

Slug Rings were originally invented by a gardener who simply wanted to stop slugs from munching through their plants... and they worked so well that production began in 2002! Over the years, tens of thousands of happy gardeners have discovered how effective, sustainable, and easy Slug Rings are to use.
