Mineral
Snail and Slug Killer
with Elemental Iron

Description

Protect-us Mineral Snail and Slug Killer is a unique product that is highly effective in the control of snails and slugs. Uniquely utilising elemental iron, Protect-us Mineral Snail and Slug Killer is a low-toxic alternative to metaldehyde and methiocarb baits that displays similar or better levels of control and protection.

It has been independently reviewed and approved as garden safe. In fact all the ingredients are currently used in either foods for human consumption, pharmaceuticals or cosmetics for human applications.

Elemental iron is an essential dietary nutrient. Any residues present on fruit or vegetables, or systemically available from skin contact, are indistinguishable from iron of environmental origin. When the bait is consumed by snails, the low pH in the snail's gut activates the product, forming an iron salt that causes the snails and slugs to stop feeding, protecting your plants and leading to the death of the molluscs.

Snails and slugs are so attracted to the Protect-us Mineral Snail and Slug Killer that it actually lures them out of their hiding places. Palatability of the bait is specifically targeted at Australian snail and slug species. Protect-us Mineral Snail and Slug Killer is the only Registered Allowed Input for snail and slugs when growing Organic and Biodynamic Produce.

What our customers say

Thought I would get back to you with a big THANK YOU.
Mary Valley Hardware received their stock last Friday and I purchased and applied same day to my garden…………miraculously the next morning all but two slugs had been eradicated, and the two that were there were very "sluggish". I then went away for 3 days and on return found that my little plants were in wonderful condition and there are were only one or two slugs in my whole garden. Great product and have let the lettuce, flower, small crop growers in the area know so that their plants can thrive too.

As we cut pasture mulch with our forage harvestor to place around our vegetable seedlings we also bring in some snails and slugs who have a particular liking for our fresh young seedlings. Some also sneak into our greenhouse and chew on our certified Organic seedlings! That’s not on. Thanks to a generous donation from Dion at Protect Us Australia we are trialing their new formulation of Snail and Slug Pellets that have just been given approval as a Certified Organic Input. This new product is designed to be safe for our native wildlife and domestic or farm animals too. Great news!

I don't usually do this but I'm so happy with the results of this product. I used to hunt down dozens of slugs every night which totally grossed me out, but within 24 hours of using your slug killer - all gone. It'/'s nice being able to go out into my garden and not have to keep an eye out for slugs. Thanks !

So impressed with your product for use on snails and slugs in a certified organic garden... the only snail pellets I’ve been able to find that are registered for use in organically certified vegetable crops here in Australia and are safe for wildlife and pets.
