Sluggo (1 lb Bottle)

Sluggo is an iron phosphate slug and snail bait in a 1 lb bottle that controls pests while remaining safe around pets, wildlife, and edible crops. The active ingredient is a naturally occurring soil compound, so uneaten bait simply breaks down into the soil. Slugs and snails stop feeding right away and die within 3 to 6 days.
