Why Use Growing Success Slug Killer Advanced

Slugs prefer moist and soaked granules. On moist soil or in humid conditions, granules take up water and begin to swell. Once attracted to and consuming the bait pellet, slugs cease to feed. They then crawl into the ground or a secluded location to die, leaving no unsightly trace of slime secretion.

The product remains effective after exposure to rain, watering and sunlight
