Ferroxx^® Slug & Snail Bait is an iron-based bait that is effective against a wide variety of slug and snail species and is exempt from the requirement for a tolerance when used as a molluscicide in or on all food commodities. It protects citrus, artichokes, nursery stock, berries, lawns, gardens, greenhouses, outdoor ornamentals, vegetable gardens, fruits, and grass grown for seed. Ferroxx can be used in areas where pets and wildlife protection are a concern.

When slugs and snails ingest the pellets, even in small amounts, they stop feeding and die, leaving no slime trails with no cleanup necessary; dead slugs and snails may not be visible. The physiological effect of the bait gives immediate protection to crops. The non-dusty, small uniform pellet allows for easy application through spreading equipment and provides the maximum number of feeding points/acre. Ferroxx is easy to apply and remains effective under varying weather and environmental conditions. Available in beige and blue.
