Protect yourself against garden pests

St. Gallen, 17 March 2021. Spring is just around the corner and nature is waking up after a winter of hibernation. For gardeners, this is the time to plan, prepare and sow the first flowers, vegetables and herbs. You must also plan to protect yourself against pests such as snails and unwanted visitors like: cats, dogs or deer so that all your plants can develop freely. Many gardening enthusiasts believe that the use of poisons or chemicals is out of the question. These are harmful to flora and fauna and make food crops unfit for consumption. For those gardeners who are looking for a method of pest control that is kind to the environment and to animals, a high-quality alternative is now being provided by the Swiss innovator SWISSINNO.

When combating snails in your garden, it is natural to first think of slug pellets, as this poison is effective and widely used. But often it is only professional gardeners who know how dangerous the chemicals in slug pellets really are. Mostly these pellets use the highly toxic chemicals methiocarb or metaldehyde. Both can cause serious damage to animal and human health, especially that of children, and can be fatal even in small doses.

These poisons are applied by simply being scattered in the garden. This creates two major problems. Firstly, slug pellets can simply be washed away by rain or by watering the garden and thus they completely fail to have an effect, and secondly, sends the toxins seep into the soil. As a result, food crops that draw water from the contaminated soil can become unfit for consumption. In addition, these chemicals kill non-selectively, not distinguishing between pests, farm animals or pets. Pets, such as cats or dogs, can easily be poisoned if the animals lick their paws clean after contact with the toxins contained in slug pellets.

Slug pellets are a health hazard and a contaminant for the environment, which can be avoided without any problems. Instead of haphazardly scattering poison, it is better to use a targeted and well-thought-out method of defending your plants against snails. This can be implemented very easily with the help of a snail fence and non-toxic snail traps. The snail fence can be put up in early spring, when laying out or freshening up your flower beds, in order to achieve maximum efficiency. The SWISSINNO fence, which snails cannot get past, offers a permanent solution for gardens, flower beds, terraces and other areas. Its adjustable structure can be extended endlessly and can be installed without tools. Its user-friendly technology means that the individual fence elements are easy to join together. In this way, the snail fence provides economical and environmentally friendly 24-hour protection.

If there is already a snail infestation or if the installation of a snail fence is not possible, it is advisable to use a non-toxic snail trap. The SWISSINNO product uses a natural bait to attract the snails and then they drown inside the trap. The bait used is not dangerous for children or pets and is out of reach. It is an ideal choice, as the trap can be reused. To do this you can simply clean the snail trap, refill it with water and renew the bait.

Snails are not the only pests that pose a threat to garden beds. The cultivation of fresh vegetables and herbs is particularly attractive to visitors from the forest and the neighbourhood. For wild animals such as deer, hedgehogs, rabbits, etc., vegetable patches are a delicious buffet and for pets such as dogs and cats, the loosened, soft earth unfortunately offers an ideal place to relieve themselves.

Since we do not necessarily want to share our vegetables with wild animals and excrement or urine in the soil and on the plants is extremely unhygienic, we need an effective solution to drive these animals away. However, we must keep animal welfare in mind and the animals should not be harmed under any circumstances. Here too, SWISSINNO is ready with the right solution, the Ultrasonic Animal Repeller PRO. This emits ultrasonic sounds that are inaudible to humans but extremely annoying to animals, furthermore it can also drive uninvited guests out of the garden with flashes of LED light.

This is achieved through innovative product development and extensive tests.
