Check the warning signs
Identify it first
Find the source.
Choose the right approach.
Slugs have no external shell and can squeeze into small damp spaces beneath pots, mulch and garden edging. Their overnight feeding can leave Sydney gardeners with damaged seedlings before the culprit is visible.
A targeted plan starts with identification, not scattered pellets. We inspect the moist shelter and feeding areas, then consider habitat changes and suitable control with pets and wildlife in mind.

Know the problem
What we treat, in plain English.
We identify the pest, find where it is living and choose the treatment that suits your property.
Damp harbourage check
Under pots, boards, mulch and garden borders are inspected for shelter.
Targeted garden management
Shelter reduction, practical removal and appropriate registered options are considered for the affected area.
Prevention around watering
Watering patterns and clutter changes can make feeding sites less inviting without drying out your whole garden.

Straight answers
Questions about slug control.
Snails have a visible shell; slugs do not. Both can leave slime trails and feed on garden plants, but slugs fit into tighter damp shelters.
Damp paving, nearby planting and pots can provide shelter and feeding routes. Activity is often more noticeable at night or after rain.
It can. Avoiding unnecessary prolonged dampness and reducing wet shelter can help, while keeping enough water for your plants.
Some products can. Tell us about pets, blue-tongue lizards, edible plants and ponds. Any treatment must follow its label and suit the site.
