Item: 8741-B
A blend of iron phosphate, a naturally occurring soil mineral, with snail and slug bait. Many species of snails and slugs are attracted to the bait, leaving their hiding places and plants to feed. When they ingest even small quantities of iron phosphate, they cease feeding and die a few days later. Damage reduction is almost immediate.

Scatter on the lawn or around plants or in the soil around trees and shrubs. Ground or lawn should be moist when applying. Apply at 1#/1000 sq ft, 1 tsp/sq yd. Reapply as the bait is taken. Please see pesticide label here. EPA reg. 67702-3-54705.

These products come with detailed instructions on their labels. Contact us in case you don’t receive the attached booklet or if the label is illegible.

While we try to stay current with product specifications, product formulations are subject to change without notice.

Use our Sprayers to apply these products. We welcome your suggestions about successful low-impact pest-control methods or products.

Is that pesticide registered in your state?

Each state treats potentially dangerous items differently. Like alcohol and open-carry laws, pesticide registrations are different everywhere. We cannot ship a pesticide to a state where it is not registered.

Before buying or using any pest- or disease-control product, be sure it is registered for use in your state and, if you are a commercial grower, registered for commercial production.

Purdue University has a searchable database of information for most states. You can look up products by name, registration number or active ingredient. Contact information is provided for states that don’t participate in the website.

MOFGA: Approved for use by Maine Organic Farmers & Gardeners Association Certification Services. Check with your certifier.
WSDA: Listed by the Washington State Department of Agriculture’s Organic Certification division for use in organic agriculture in Washington State. MOFGA has indicated that they will accept products on this list for their certification program. Check with your certifier.
