Garden Safe? brand slug and snail bait contains a unique combination of iron phosphate, which is a plant nutrient that occurs in soils, with slug and snail bait additives. After eating the bait, the slugs and snails cease feeding, become less mobile and begin to die within three to six days. This product will control slugs and snails in or on home lawns, gardens, greenhouses, outdoor ornamentals, vegetable gardens, fruits, berries, citrus and crop plants. The bait can be scattered on the lawn or on the soil around any vegetable plants, flowers or fruit trees or bushes where snail or slug control is needed.
