HOW SLUGGO SLUG AND SNAIL KILLER BAIT WORKS
The slugs and snails eat the bait and immediately stops feeding. After they stop feeding, they become less mobile, and they start to die in 3-6 days.They go to a hiding place to die, so you do not have to see them.
HOW AND WHEN TO APPLY SLUGGO
Since slugs and snails start early in the spring when perennials appear, start baiting with Sluggo at that time. Slugs and snails feed early in the morning or at night; it is best to apply the bait at night.
Simply scatter the Sluggo bait on the soil around and near the plants that you want to protect. Use one teaspoon per square yard, then reapply when it is consumed or every two weeks. Scatter the bait, and avoid placing it in a pile.
Apply bait evenly at the rate of 0.5 - 1 lb. per 1,000 square feet, or for smaller areas, 0.15 oz., or 1 level teaspoon, per square yard
