Vitax Rid Slug and Snail Pellets

Vitax Slug Rid Slug & Snail Pellets 

A ready-to-use, ferric phosphate-based slug and snail bait designed for fast, effective, and eco-certified control in both ornamental and edible gardens.

Key Features

• Natural active ingredient: Ferric phosphate, approved for organic gardening—safe around pets and wildlife 
• Fast-acting effect: Once eaten, slugs and snails stop feeding immediately, which halts plant damage quickly 
• Rain-resistant and swelling: Pellets absorb moisture, become more attractive to pests, and stay effective longer—even in damp conditions 
• No unsightly residue: Slugs retreat underground after feeding; no dead bodies or slime trails are left behind 
• Ready to use: No mixing—just scatter pellets around vulnerable plants 

Ideal For

• Edibles and ornamentals: Safe for use around vegetables, herbs, fruit, bedding, and border plants 
• Broad garden use: Equally effective in raised beds, pots, greenhouses, and traditional garden borders 
• Organic and wildlife-friendly gardens: Ideal for gardeners avoiding harsh chemicals.

How to Use

1. Scatter pellets (approximately 5 g/m²) around the base of plants in moist soil 
2. Apply during late evening or early morning when slugs are most active 
3. The pellets swell on contact with moisture, attracting slugs and snails 
4. Reapply every two weeks or after heavy rain to maintain protection 

When & Where to Use
