Product Overview

Hi-Yield Improved Slug and Snail Bait is a pelleted bait for soil surface treatment in home vegetable gardens, turfgrass lawns, and around ornamentals, fruit trees, and berries.  Bait attracts slugs and snails in moist soil, then Metaldehyde paralyzes the pests until they dehydrate in the sun. This new formulation may be applied as needed but will last 3 to 4 weeks, even through rain and sprinkling.  For best control, apply to moist soil in the evening when damage is expected or first appears. Broadcast to soil around crops such as beans, cabbage, curcurbits, tomatoes, potatoes, blackberries and more, or under fruit tress such as apples or citrus. Also suitable for broadcast on turfgrass lawns, along fences, and in ornamental beds. Contains Bitrex bittering agent to deter children, pets, and other animals. 1 lb covers 4,400 square feet.

    Slug and snail

    By Donna on 09/20/2012

    This stuff is great! I have a major problem with slugs. They can wipe out a garden of flowers in a mere night! Hi Yield stops them immediately and lasts for months. I am considering finding another product for Japanese Beetles!

    Slu & snail bait

    By Patricia on 09/19/2014

    Verified Purchase

    I live in Fl. and it's difficult to find 3 days with no rain but I went ahead & used he bait after a morning rain. It didn't rain that day but did the net. I'm a believer in this product. It's been about 10 days & the slugs are gone from a bed that was infested with them & the snail population is greatly reduced. Thank you, Pat Howard

    The slug destroyer!

    By Dan on 08/14/2015

    Ok - so I put this out at night - In the morning it looked like there had been a chemical weapon attack. There were splats of slug covering the mulch. At first I didn't understand what the splats were, then I realized that they were slugs, It was as though they just exploded like the aliens in "Men in Black" This stuff works like a champ. Seriously.
