Neudorff's SLUGGO is a unique product containing ferric phosphate, which is a compound commonly found in soils, in a specially formulated bait. Any uneaten bait will degrade and become part of the soil in your garden. It will not harm pets, birds or wildlife.
After ingesting this bait (even in small amounts) slugs and snails cease feeding, which provides immediate protection to plants. Affected slugs and snails die within three to six days. Dead slugs and snails may not be visible as they often crawl away to secluded places to die. Plant protection will be observed in the dramatic decrease in plant damage.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
Scatter the bait granules on the soil around or near the plants to be protected. Apply bait evenly at approximately 5 grams per square meter. Reapply as the bait is consumed or every two weeks where snails and slugs continue to be a problem. Do not place in piles. If the ground is
dry, wet it before applying bait. The soil should be moist but with little or no standing water. Do not apply to foliage or other plant parts.
Evening is the best time to apply the bait, as slugs and snails travel and feed mostly by night or early morning. This bait is ideal for protecting vegetable and flower gardens, ornamental shrubs, berry plants and fruit. Circling the garden plot or plants/shrubs/ trees with bait effectively creates a barrier to slugs and snails. All likely areas of infestation should be treated, especially around the perimeter of garden plots because these pests travel into plant areas from daytime refuges.
They favor damp, shady places around plants.
