Know before you buy
Yes, Sluggo is certified for organic gardening and is safe to use around edible crops. You can apply it directly to your vegetable beds without worrying about harmful residues.
No, Sluggo is formulated to be resistant to rain and irrigation. It remains effective even after being exposed to water, so you do not need to reapply it immediately following a rainstorm.
Sluggo is safe for use around pets and wildlife when applied according to the label instructions. Its active ingredient, iron phosphate, is a naturally occurring soil nutrient.
Sluggo stops slugs and snails from feeding immediately upon contact with the bait. While they stop eating right away, the full pest control effect typically occurs within 3 to 6 days after ingestion.
Any uneaten bait simply degrades into the soil. Because it is made from iron phosphate, it breaks down into harmless components that act as a nutrient for your garden rather than leaving behind synthetic chemical residues.
