Sluggo (2.5 lb Bottle)

Sluggo in the 2.5 lb bottle is an OMRI-listed iron phosphate slug and snail bait that protects plants without harsh chemicals. The pellets pair iron phosphate, a naturally occurring soil nutrient, with attractants that lure slugs and snails to feed. Once they eat the bait they stop feeding and die within 3 to 6 days, and any uneaten bait breaks down into the soil.
