 The best stuff ! May 24, 2007
By R. Powell
"Shopping Guru"
I discovered Sluggo about 8 years ago, when I purchased a 15 pound bag online. It cost me a little over $70.00, and it was worth every penny ! I just now had to reorder, and ordered this 2.5 pound shaker canister. I also have dogs, and, it is completely safe. I can't say this loud enough, I HATE SLUGS ! They are so gross ! Anyway, we really enjoy our yard, and the slugs made it just yucky. Well, sprinkle a little sluggo around, just before it rains (and, just before dark, so birds don't eat it... they think it's food, although, it doesn't seems to hurt them, but, you don't want to lose your Sluggo...lol), and, wait a few weeks later, and do it again... that's all you have to do ! We can go months and months and not see a slug ! When we do, we know it's time to sprinkle a little more around. Now we just have to treat the edges of our yard to keep slugs from coming in from other yards. Our yard is basically slug free. Sluggo really works.

Stops the slugs and saves the Hosta Aug 16, 2007
By L. Charles
Very effective product and safe when pets and small children are around. I have over 60 varieties of hosta (107 plants) and this product has effectively protected them for the past three years.

Fantastic product Jun 23, 2009
By Nancy G. Murdoch
"book loving Nana"
This is a product that I can recommend with confidence. I had tried a variety of products and gadgets to solve my slug problem to no avail The beer pans was expensive, wasteful, messy and ineffective. Other snail killers were dangerous to use around my dog. I was so tired of the slugs destroying my daylilies and hostas, that I overcame my revulsion and would pick them off my hand at night. I quickly discovered that sleep would be a thing of the past if I expected to defeat the little blighters. But then I found Sluggo and my problem was solved. Apparently the slugs love this product, eat it, then can't eat anymore, and quickly die of starvation. Best of all, it's safe to use around pets and children. Now the blooms of my daylilies are bite free and the foliage of my hostas are beautiful. Thank you Sluggo!!

 Not so sure about it Sep 13, 2009
By Need More Jewelry
"Really"
Frankly, I like the old Bug-Geta snail bait better. This is the first I have tried this organic Sluggo. Generally, I try to buy organic whenever possible. And since my neighbors all have small dogs, I was interested in a product that wouldnt harm them. So that I appreciate.
But the product itself does weird things in the flower beds. At first I didnt know what it was, since when it melted it looked like white mold. The first batch I removed, then later figured out that was the melted Sluggo. It seems that I have to put it out more often, like it doesnt last as long as the bad kind of snail bait. And I am not so sure my plants like it. I have it in flower pots, and around a large potted lemon tree. One flower plant instantly croaked.
So it costs more, doesnt last as long, looks ugly and weird, doesnt make my plants happy, but its organic and wont hurt pets... so its better, right?

Got snails? Get Sluggo. Jun 09, 2009
By Phoenix 2006
I knew I had snails in my backyard, but I leave early in the day and paid them little attention - until I found myself cozy with one in the blanket on my sofa, and had to clean it's trail off the armrest (we think it rode in on the dog). Since then I was aware of them, but had little time in the a.m. when they were active to worry about them. But I'm a teacher, and summer's here....
I had picked up another product, then realized it could be toxic to pets, so couldn't use it. I went online to figure out what to get and what to do in the meantime and read about Sluggo. It took me a few days to get in and exchange what I had, so meanwhile I followed the advice of many organic gardeners. I went out in the morning and hand picked the little suckers. Between Wed. a.m. and a Fri. eve. shower that brought them back out, I had hand disposed of over 200 snails - all originating from a relatively small bed planted with a long leafed ornamental plant. Ew.
I got out the next evening and generously sprinkled the Sluggo pellets throughout their home base...and have not seen one snail since (4 days). The directions say you may need to use every couple of weeks, so I'll keep an eye out, and at the first sign of another slimy creature I'll replenish my supply of this terrific product.
