Know before you buy
Yes, Sluggo is formulated with iron phosphate, which is safe for use around pets and wildlife when used as directed.
No, the granules are weather-resistant and remain effective even after rain or watering, so you do not need to reapply immediately after a storm.
Absolutely. Because it is OMRI Listed for organic gardening, it is suitable for use on vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants.
Simply scatter the granules evenly on the soil around the base of the plants you want to protect. You do not need to bury them, as the slugs and snails will be attracted to the bait on the surface.
Iron phosphate acts as a stomach poison. Once the pests ingest the bait, they stop feeding and eventually die, typically retreating to their hiding places first.
