Safe Slug Control with Iron Phosphate

Iron phosphate baits (e.g., Sluggo) are effective, low-toxicity slug and snail controls. The granules act as a fertilizer but cause iron poisoning in mollusks. Scatter them in the evening on moist soil near vulnerable plants like strawberries. Slugs foraging at night consume the bait and die. Reapply after heavy rain. It's safe for pets, wildlife, and edible crops when used as directed.
