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
- Scatter pellets (approximately 5 g/m²) around the base of plants in moist soil
- Apply during late evening or early morning when slugs are most active
- The pellets swell on contact with moisture, attracting slugs and snails
