Our take on the Monterey Sluggo, Wildlife Safe, Slug and Snail Killer Granules, 1 lb.

Monterey Sluggo is a granular bait that kills slugs and snails using iron phosphate, a compound that occurs naturally in soil. It is labeled safe for use around dogs, cats, pets and wildlife, which sets it apart from metaldehyde baits that carry pet and wildlife warnings. The bait stays effective for up to 4 weeks and holds up through rain and irrigation. It suits gardeners with pets or children who want slug control without the toxicity concerns of conventional baits.

Questions and answers

Is Sluggo safe around dogs and cats?
Yes. It is labeled safe for use around pets and wildlife because the active ingredient is iron phosphate, not metaldehyde. Still keep pets from eating the granules directly.
How long does one application last?
Monterey says it remains effective for up to 4 weeks. Reapply sooner if slugs are still feeding heavily or after very wet weather.
Does rain wash it away?
No. The bait keeps working after rain or sprinkler use, so you do not need to reapply after every storm.
How much area does the container treat?
The 1 lb container treats up to 11,000 square feet, so a little goes a long way in a typical garden.
How is it different from metaldehyde baits?
It uses iron phosphate instead of metaldehyde, so it carries no pet or wildlife poison warning. It generally acts more slowly than metaldehyde.
How do I apply it?
Scatter the granules thinly around plants and along slug trails, following the label rate. Do not pile them up, since clumps can attract pets.
