Pack of two silicon lids one was fine

Pack of two silicon lids. On identical glass jars one stayed on fine and trapped the slugs effectively. The other kept slipping off the rim of the jar. Perhaps it will improve with time?

Hi there, thanks for you feedback, (I'll assume you've thrown the packaging away with user instructions) I am sure I can help you get this sorted so both are working.

So first always make sure the jar and trap are dry when attaching.

Then secondly the lid is invertible to make use of the ribbed effect, so you can consider flipping it around. It's likely close to fitting if you're using identical jars.

And the simplest thing is just to try a different Jar that's smaller. I'll send you a quick email, maybe you can send a picture and i can help you further, or worst case scenario, I'll send you another package out so that you're satisfied :) Thanks,

Laurence

Effective Humane Trap

I’m really pleased with this humane slug trap. It’s refreshing to have an option that doesn’t involve killing large numbers of slugs. The tongs are also very handy to keep by the back door for easy removal.

Gardening in harmony with nature

The product is really good, and I care about note harming nature, so it was wonderful to find a way to protect my daffodils without harming the slugs or any of the other garden animals or insects.

Slugs foiled!

My five stars come down to the product itself. I love to grow dahlias but my garden is a seething sea of slugs and they love to devour these beautiful plants before they get the tiniest chance to establish themselves. My only success in the past has been to grow them on a platform in a moat. These specially designed feet have enabled me to easily establish 'shelves' of happy dahlias that the slugs can only look at and dream! Thanks Stopslugs!

Oh amazing, thanks a lot for your review, i love Dahlias also, if you have a nice photo of the set up it'd be great to see or be able to use one with Dahlias in! Thanks,

Wait.. I’ve caught one… 🙌

Thanks for reply Laurence, I took your advice and caught my first slug last night! I used four empty tins with cucumber bait, in all corners of the kitchen. It’s a great start.. 4 stars!

I had high hopes for what looked like an incredible invention.. But sadly, as yet I’ve not had any luck trapping the naughty slugs that invade our kitchen at night. I don’t mind them in the garden, but the trails all over the kitchen floor every morning are not pleasant. Maybe I’m using the wrong bait, beer and cucumber.. But also the silicon lids keep popping off the jam jars, the flaw in the design seems to be the ridges are on the outside of the lids, if they were on the inside the would grip on to the thread of the jar. I’ll try again with different bait and smaller jars but for now I can only offer up 2 stars, which makes me feel bad. It’s a shame, because anything that avoids harming slugs and snails deserves applause! 👏

Hi Rich,

Beer and cucumber will work with most slugs, but it's a bit like fishing and requires some patience and time.

If the lid is popping of i am sure, if you make sure the lid and container are dry and you use a smaller container, it will stay on. Maybe try a tin of beans for example and make sure it's 75mm in diameter.

In terms of the lids design, it's invertible, it's easily flipped inside out to give it a better profile to grip onto jars with threads.

I hope you have better luck with it soon and if you have any questions or need advice, send me an email on info@stopslugs.com, cheers

Goodbye slugs!

Having seen the stopslugs video by chance on YouTube, I had to order some. I adore hostas, and get very upset when slugs destroy the beautiful new foliage. Slugs had also been nibbling a miniature labyrnum I have in a pot. I wouldn't dream of using chemical controls but was fed up of slug damage.The order was delivered very quickly, and was plastic-free - very much appreciated. My husband crafted a wooden disc to screw onto the slugstand for the labrynum pot. We were able to sit the hosta pot directly onto the slugstand. Some heavy Scottish rain followed and my "anti-slug moats" were complete! Not a single leaf has been chewed since then. I am the happiest gardener in Scotland, and am telling all my friends about these incredible, eco-friendly slugstands. They are well made, easy to install and blend in very nicely. Thank you so much!

The whole experience was great

The whole experience was great. I ordered a double pack of slugstands for my raised bed and am very happy. Finally I no longer have to use poison and harm the slugs! Thank you for this innovative product.
