This is the time snails and Slugs start becoming active in our climate. In my visits to clients gardens I am seeing them starting to attack pansies, violas, primroses and bulbs like daffodils and tulips. Soon they will be out in full force. One of the prices we pay for our mild climate is the early spring snail wars.

You want to start getting them under control now before they start laying eggs and new ones hatch. I use Sluggo which is a safer snail control than the regular baits. Even though it is not COMPLETLY safe You have a lot less to worry about. The worst problem with metaldehyde baits is the lack of an antidote if a pet gets some.

Sluggo and Sluggo Plus contains Iron Phosphate which is approved by OMRI listed as an organic pest control product. The difference is Sluggo Plus contains Iron Phosphate and Spinosad a new organic insect control for earwigs and other insects. 

It takes just takes a lightl sprinkling around plants you want to protect and in areas where they hide. This cool and wet weather is what they love.and they can destroy your flower! Sluggo has become our Number One selling snail control.

Now you can control snails and slugs and feel good about it.
