What is Slug & Snail Shocka!

Slug & Snail Shocka! is a fabric that has been impregnated on one side with a special formulation containing copper. Professional growers use this copper fabric in the production of container grown trees, shrubs and perennials. Growers noticed that in areas where this fabric had been used there was an absence of slugs and snails. When slugs and snails attempt to move onto Slug & Snail Shocka! they feel discomfort, similar to silver/tin foil on amalgam fillings in the mouth. Slugs and snails normally move away. Some may go onto Shock! but either move off (often leaving a large slime trail) or remain still to try and prevent further discomfort.
Slug & Snail Shocka! does not kill slugs or snails but creates a barrier. Pets, wildlife and children will not be affected when they move over it.
Slug & Snail Shocka! can be re-used as it will last for more than one season.

How to Use

Shocka! is easy to use.
Ensure the following when laying down Slug & Snail Shocka!:
Slugs and snails are removed from plants to be protected.
Plans in pots - remove any slugs or snails within the pot. They are
usually found in clumps near to the edge of pots, see picture on the right.
Do not allow plant leaves to hang over the edge of the fabric as slugs and snails could move onto the plant without going onto the Shocka!.
Remove any debris on Shock!, eg soil & leaves, as this reduces its effect as a barrier.
Lay the dark side facing upwards.

Where to Use?

Protects many susceptible plants including:
hostas, patio plants, strawberries, lettuce, vegetables and other plant.

Under Pots:
Cut out a mat to size or use a disc and place
under pot and ensure there is a 10-15cm
(4-6 inches) barrier around the pot

In and around rows of plants:
Can be used in longer lengths, cut stars into fabric at the required planting distance in the row and then plant through
the cuts. Firm onto the soil.

Shocka can be used in many other situations where slugs and snails might be a problem. Place under the legs of your staging in the greenhouse to stop them going up the legs and onto the staging.
