Dr. T’s Nature Products® Slug & Snail Killer

Frustrated gardeners and homeowners can now win the battle against slugs and snails in their gardens and landscaping.  These mollusks are a major agricultural pest in many areas of the world, and now, they have met their match! 

Dr. T’s Nature Products® Slug & Snail Killer is a new, unique natural product for the control of destructive slugs and snails. Dr. T’s Nature Products® Slug & Snail Killer contains a powerful bait that is highly attractive to slugs and snails.  In fact, independent field tests show garden snails and slugs prefer to eat the bait rather than live plants. Control for snails and slugs has never been easier!

The concentrated iron, sodium ferric EDTA, in Dr. T’s Nature Products® Slug & Snail Killer is also cost effective since less product is needed for snail and slug control than with iron phosphate-based baits. 

When slugs and snails ingest this sodium ferric bait, it interferes with their digestive process and makes them stop eating immediately.  After retreating to a safe hiding place, this bait kills slugs and snails within 3-6 days, making this both a powerful and easy-to-use slug and snail garden pest control product.

Unlike the synthetic product metaldehyde, Dr. T’s Nature Products® Slug & Snail Killer is safe for use around pets, wildlife and edible crops.  In addition, it will not harm beneficial insects, making this the best slug and snail control product for gardens.  Since iron is naturally found in soil, this snail and slug bait will not persist in the environment like a synthetic formula. 

This 1 lb. granular bait covers up to 1,700 square feet. Application of this slug and snail control product lasts up to 2 weeks.

Dr. T’s Nature Products® offers a variety of innovative solutions to effectively control nuisance animals and insects.

I sprinkled these granules around my plants and areas where slugs have been seen. The next day no more slugs.

You can use these around vegetable plants, which some other baits you cannot.

I will continue to use these granules.

I love this stuff! I had slugs eating all my strawberries and it was beyond annoying! I sprinkle this around the strawberry pots and I haven't had any problems since! I love that it is safe for pets and other wildlife. it's a good value for the amount you get, has held up well even with the sprinklers running twice a day and is very effective. Definitely worth the price!

My wife and I have a SERIOUS snail/slug infestation out in our yard (Seattle, WA). Been driving us crazy for a while now, since they eat all the plants like nobody's business. Anyway, a nice sprinkling of this at night last week and the munching of the vegetation has been reduced to basically nothing. I was out a few nights ago and saw some slugs on the sidewalk, so I grabbed my container of Slug and Snail killer and sprinkled a few rolls (they look like tiny, solid, pink sausages!) in front of the slug. It went right over to the "killer" and started eating. Gross! Sucking away on it, unaware of its fate...

I feel slightly sick when I read on the label that it destroys their digestive system. Heck, it basically causes the snails/slugs to starve to death. Cruel? Yes. Effective? Absolutely.

5 out of 5.

We like the fact that this product works well. It is easy to use and is an all natural (iron) formulation. The granules do not dissolve in lawn watering or rain and last well. They are safe for pets and since we are organic gardeners we are careful not to destroy beneficials needed to support our eco system. Safe for birds too. We now have no slug problems.

I am an organic home gardener - I compost, have a worm bin, grow flowers that attract beneficial insects and have been largely successful with avoiding the use of "products". But this year the banana slugs have been out in force and eating my beans, chard and sunflowers. Dr. T's Slug and Snail Killer works quickly, is easy to use and it's safe around my pets. And my veggies and sunflowers are all doing great!

This is an easy review. I constantly had to shoo snails out of my impatiens. I sprinkled Dr. T's inside the flowerpots. And now: snails no more!

Highly recommended.

I have tried many slug and snail baits, but this one seems to work the best. I have many clients that have pets, and they are worried to put down baits that may harm their animals. In addition, you can use Dr. T's around the listed vegetables on the container that you are growing. I feel confident that you will like the results. I have been in the horticultural industry for over 40+ years, and I would highly recommend Dr. T's Slug and Snail Killer.

Dr T's ST125 Slug and Snail Killer has proved to be a superior product to those I have used in the past. From the first initial use, I have found no slugs near my plants and flowers. I have tried other products in the past and have been highly disappointed, but Dr T's has proved to be a far more reliable product.
