Garden Safe Slug & Snail Bait Garden Safe

The Garden Safe Slug and Snail Bait Granules contain a unique combination of iron phosphate – a plant nutrient that occurs in soils, with slug and snail bait additives. After eating the slug and snail bait, the slimy critters cease feeding and die within 3 to 6 days. Great in or on home lawns, gardens, greenhouses, outdoor ornamentals, vegetable gardens, fruits, berries, citrus and crop plants, this versatile snail and slug bait maintains a thriving lawn.
