Slug Control

Choose the Right Products for Slug Control

Slugs can feed on leaves, flowers, and young plants. Problems are often most severe in damp locations and during periods of frequent rainfall. To reduce damage, it is best to begin control measures as soon as you notice slugs or fresh signs of feeding on plants.

Slug Pellets

Slug pellets are used to control slugs in flower beds, greenhouses, and cultivation areas.

The range includes products such as Ferramol Slug Control from Neudorff, which contains iron phosphate. Some iron phosphate-based products are also approved for use in organic cultivation.

Always check the product's approved area of use and follow the dosage instructions provided on the packaging.

Slug Bait Stations

Slug bait stations are used to place slug bait in a controlled location. They can be useful when you want to protect the bait from weather conditions and reduce the risk of accidental contact.

Check which slug bait the station is designed for and follow the instructions for both the station and the bait product.

Preventing Slug Problems

You can also reduce slug problems by monitoring your growing areas and making the environment less attractive to slugs.

• Inspect regularly: Look for slugs and signs of plant damage, particularly during wet periods.
• Remove hiding places: Clear away debris and other materials where slugs may seek shelter.
• Keep growing areas tidy: Remove dead plant material and other organic matter accumulating on the ground.
• Monitor results: Check whether new damage appears and whether additional measures are needed.

Always use slug control products according to the manufacturer's instructions and verify which crops and environments they are approved for.
