Not much use.
The ultimate test of this product is has it saved my dahlias from the onslaught of slugs and snails?The answer is: No.I religiously applied it night after night to the young plants, and my initial view was that it was working.That was for about a month or more.After a 10 day holiday I returned to find that my dahlias had been chewed down to the stem, sometimes right through the stem.The product claims to build up a resistance in the plant, but if that resistance is not sustained for more than a week, what's the point?I bought this largely on the strength of its claims to be organic and not posionous to animal life, but one has to ask whether something that doesn't do fatal damage to a mollusc can ever be a serious deterrent.Disappointed!

Use liberally and frequently during early and peak growth and it works really well
Using the Corydalis in the image as an example of a plant that slugs enjoy.Last year I used crushed garlic to keep them off, this product is more effective and less hassle.I sprayed young growth a few times a week, and after rainfall. Initial slug damage tailed off as the plant grew and once it was flowering I sprayed approx weekly as a top up until flowering finished. I've not sprayed the re-growth after the post flower cut back and there's very little damage but I can't say why that is.There is an observable build up of resistance.I've recommended this to others and objections have been expense and ineffectiveness. It's worth the expense to me because I can afford it and because I don't like killing garden pests; I'm convinced our poisoning of slugs, for example, has decimated hedgehog populations. Re ineffectiveness, I would suggest it's not being used as per product instructions. If it's not working, use more frequently during rapid early season growth and always after rainfall.

I usually then repeat an application which gives my plants another two weeks and more so they have the best possible start
I was sceptical about this product because my vegetable garden is plagued by slugs. However, i use it whenever I plant out my seedlings and it gives them 100% protection for the first two weeks. I usually then repeat an application which gives my plants another two weeks and more so they have the best possible start. After this time they are not so tender and appealing to slugs. Since my garden is wildlife friendly and I wish to provide every possible chance for other creatures I am thrilled with the product. No slugs die, leaving them for other slugs, hedgehogs, birds etc to eat safely. But I make sure that all of, and each, leaf is sprayed on top and underneath and the stem too, and not when it is about to rain. It needs a few hours to dry on the plant.This product works perfectly for me:)

Effective
I have had a huge amount of trouble with molluscs this year. Standard toxic treatments (blue pellets ) and less toxic ones - Aluminium Sulphate and Nemaslug were only partially effective. This stuff seems to deter them well - not quite absolutely.. It does need to be put on regularly, but once the plants reach a reasonable height mollusc damage is less of an issue. I will certainly use this again. The concentrate is very good value compared with the ready mixed. I shall be looking at the other products they have for deterring insect damage

I really want this to be great but...
Upon recommendation I have used Glazers as an eco-friendly way to stop slugs and snails destroying my veg patch. I have followed instructions; sprayed liberally on lettuces, cabbages, beans, spinach and when I've been out at night I have found slugs on all the above. Maybe it is not as tasty as before for them but definitely hasn't stopped them coming out to my mini restaurant and leaving without paying the bill.Such a shame. I have read many positive reviews here so given that it is ecofriendly I don't want this to stop people buying and trying. Maybe your slugs are more selective than my voracious ones but it just hasn't worked at all and is pretty expensive. Back to beer traps for me.

Doesn't work
So I'm trying to be as organic as possible with my snail and slug control this year and purchased this in additional to Sluggo pellets. Yesterday I transplanted 6 pumpkin plants into one of my raised beds. I sprayed all the the plants, on both sides of the leaves, with Grazers and put plenty of Sluggo pellets around the plants. Went to check on them this morning, and every plant has slime trails on them and has lost 1 or 2 large leaves. What a waste of time!

Does not harm anything!
I've been diligently applying this product on my new plug plants all spring. Planted them out, continued spraying but I've probably lost about £50+ of new plants. All my time and work and money wasted on this useless product. It literally does not harm ANYTHING! I'm gutted to say the least, all my bee friendly plants gone!

so far the best product I have used
so far the best product I have used, so easy to apply and does work very well. Nothing has touched my Hostas' and usually they are stripped to the veins. I bought the concentrate which will last me all summer and I do them every week. much cheaper that way
