This guide is for gardeners seeking an effective and eco-friendly solution to slug and snail infestations. The key benefit is its pet and wildlife-safe formulation, which stops slugs from feeding without harming beneficial insects or domestic animals. A caveat to consider is that while effective on the soil surface, it may be less so for pests on crops growing underground or on high plants. These pellets, made with Ferric phosphate, attract slugs, causing them to stop feeding and retreat to die, while also enriching the soil with iron and phosphate.

Yes, this product is specifically formulated to be pet friendly. The active ingredient, Ferric phosphate, is non-toxic to domestic animals.
Slugs will stop feeding shortly after consuming the pellets. They typically retreat to a secluded spot to die, usually within a few days.
Yes, this product is suitable for use on edible crops. However, take care to avoid pellets becoming trapped in the leaves of vegetables.
The active ingredient is Ferric phosphate (10g/kg hydrated).
You can repeat treatment as and when necessary, up to a maximum of 4 treatments per crop. Monitor slug activity and reapply if damage is observed.
The pellets biodegrade in the soil and convert into iron and phosphate, which act as beneficial nutrients for plants.
No, Ferric phosphate is non-toxic to birds, bees, and other beneficial insects.
Ensure the soil is slightly moist, as this makes the pellets more appealing. Apply during periods of high humidity or after light rain. Slugs are most active in damp conditions.
Reapply the pellets evenly at the recommended rate. Ensure that the application was thorough and covered the affected areas. Consider reapplying if slug activity is very high.
Reapply after heavy rainfall. For very wet conditions, consider applying more frequently or using a barrier method in conjunction with pellets.
Setup: No setup is required, as the product is a ready-to-use granular bait.
Application:
Compatibility: Compatible with organic gardening practices. The Ferric phosphate active ingredient is safe for beneficial insects, birds, and pets.
Care: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the container sealed when not in use. Ensure the product is out of reach of children and pets when stored.
