Protect Garden Slug Killer effectively controls slugs in your garden. The formula is ideal for use when growing fruit and vegetables, and breaks down naturally into iron and phosphate to enrich the soil around the plants. For use on bare soil and around all flowers, fruit, herbs and vegetables outdoors and under protection. Suitable for Grow Your Own. Can be used at any time of year when slugs are active. Scatter pellets evenly around plants so that individual pellets fall 6-7cm apart. When protecting edible crops take care to avoid pellets becoming trapped in the leaves. Use plant protection products safely. Always read the label and product information before use.
