Know before you buy
Yes, Sluggo is formulated to be safe for use around domestic animals and wildlife when used as directed.
Absolutely. Sluggo is specifically labeled for use in vegetable gardens and is OMRI listed for organic gardening, meaning it meets the standards for organic production.
The active ingredient, iron phosphate, works by disrupting the feeding behavior of slugs and snails. Once applied, it naturally breaks down into soil components that can actually act as a fertilizer for your plants.
Sluggo comes in a ready-to-use granular formula. Simply scatter the granules on the soil around the base of the plants you want to protect, following the application rates listed on the product label.
While the granules are designed to be effective, heavy rain or irrigation can wash them away or cause them to break down faster. You should monitor your garden and reapply as needed if you notice the granules have disappeared or if slug activity persists.
