Absolutely. This product is safe to use on vegetables, fruit trees, and berries right up to the day of harvest, so you don't need to worry about waiting periods before eating your crops.

Simply scatter the granules evenly around the base of the plants you want to protect. It is best to apply them in the evening, as slugs and snails are most active at night.

While the granules are designed to be durable, heavy rain or irrigation can break them down faster. You may need to reapply after significant rainfall to ensure continued protection for your plants.

Yes, Sluggo is OMRI-listed, meaning it meets the standards required for use in organic gardening.
