Ferramol, slug control agent, 300g

NEUDORFF Ferramol - slug control agent is a granulated bait against all types of slugs and snails. After consuming the granules, slugs retreat feeling satiated to underground shelters where they perish, eliminating the need to collect dead slugs. Slugs do not produce excessive slime, keeping the surface of the beds clean. In case of accidental ingestion, it is not dangerous for domestic or other animals and beneficial organisms.

Action and use of the product:
Ferramol is highly dangerous only for slugs. Its active ingredient is Iron(III) phosphate, a compound of phosphorus and iron commonly found in nature. The granules lure them out from their shelters and are so attractive that they begin to consume them immediately. Shortly after consuming the bait, slugs stop eating due to a feeling of fullness, so plants are protected from further nibbling in a short time. Slugs retreat back to their underground shelters feeling satiated and die there. The death of slugs does not cause excessive and unpleasant slime production, which keeps the surface of the beds clean (unlike other similar products). There is also no need to collect dead slugs, as they die in their underground shelters. The effectiveness of Ferramol is not reduced in rain or wet weather when slugs are most active. Due to moisture, the granules swell and become even more attractive to slugs. In dry conditions, the granules revert to their original size. Even after repeated swelling, the granules do not disintegrate and do not lose their effectiveness.

Application note:
If by the next morning the bait granules are gone, it means the slugs have consumed them and the application must be repeated. This will target other slugs that may come to the treated area from the surroundings.

Dosing:
> 5 g/m2 by hand spreading, a 500 g package is sufficient for about 100 m2.

5 g of the product is approximately a slightly heaped teaspoon.
