estland Horticulture is using an innovative packaging system developed by RPC Design for its ERAZA Slug & Snail Killer, which ensures the safe and measured dispersal of pellets. ERAZA Slug & Snail Killer utilises smaller particles of metaldehyde on a greater scale, which is not only easier for slugs and snails to consume but also ensures efficacy with less active ingredient required. Scattering regulations stipulate that concentrated deposits of pellets must be avoided. The success of the ERAZA pack is the controlled dose system incorporated in the ‘apply it safe’ child resistant cap, which opens with a half turn to expose three slots that have been carefully sized to allow a restricted flow of pellets when shaken gently. The bottle neck has a twin-start coarse thread and incorporates stops that prevent the cap from


opening beyond the initial half turn, yet allows the cap to be applied easily. There is a feature at the bottle’s neck that matches with the cap to ensure that it closes fully and provides the necessary restriction to flow that prevents over dosing.

BS Insulation says that the money saved in fuel bills with the new low cost ECO-WOOL


Insulator, means that payback can be achieved in just a few months. This neat solution overcomes the problem of providing the trap door into the loft with the insulation necessary to maintain a draught


proof 'seal' whilst ensuring easy access at any time. The new ECO-WOOL Loft Hatch Insulator comprises a sewn cushion filled with a highly effective eco- friendly insulation 'wool' made from 100 per cent recycled plastic bottles. Designed to provide an overlap around a standard trap door size of 790 x 550mm, it ensures there is no possibility of cold air descending into the house. YBS says the pack contains all the necessary fixings making installation clean, easy and achievable in just one minute! Once fixed, it will not restrict opening.
