To some, the word “slug” means lazy. To gardeners, it just means trouble. Stop slugs from munching their way through your vegetable, flower, and fruit plants with Ortho Slug B Gon Eco Slug and Snail Bait. Just apply in the evening before slugs and snails come out for their nighttime or early morning feeding. Made with ferric phosphate, an ingredient found naturally in soil, slugs eat the bait, stop feeding, and usually crawl away to hide. Affected slugs and snails die within 3-6 days. Uneaten bait simply degrades into the soil. No mess and no cleanup. No slugs and no snails.
