For traps Westland partnered with Victor the world leader, to deliver reliable solutions, from fast, to humane and repeller alternatives.

With simplified lawncare regimes and new products like Gro Sure Fast Start - Smart Lawn Seed that works at lower temperatures so gardeners can boost lawns in early spring and late Autumn, because of its aqua gel coated seed and specially bred varieties. AfterCut Ultra Green+, another new launch, delivers a greener and stronger lawn, which prevents moss from growing.
