Sluggo Slug & Snail Killer is an alternative to traditional slug and snail baits. Sluggo contains iron phosphate and can be used around pets and wildlife. This product is labeled for use in vegetable gardens up until harvest and remains effective after rain or sprinkling. We use it only when slug populations get too high for leafy greens to keep up, and it typically knocks them back into balance enough that further applications aren’t needed for several seasons.
