The pellets can be used around edible and non-edible plants. On moist soil or in humid conditions granules take up water and begin to swell. Slugs prefer moist and soaked granules. Once attracted to and consuming the bait pellet, slugs cease to feed. They then crawl into the ground or a secluded location to die, leaving no unsightly trace of slime secretion and no necessity to collect corpses. This product is not safe to use around children & pets so use as advised. Review: Very good product - I use only this product for killing slugs. It works well and the slugs somehow disappear - they are supposed to dig in ground once they eat the pellets. This is much nicer than having dead slugs everywhere in pots and garden. Note that if you put too much of it around, the slugs won't manage to eat it all and the pellets after about two weeks get kind of mouldy. Don't over kill it and you should be fine. I also noticed that the blue pellets really do not attract animals neither birds at all. It seems to be well safe. Review: Really good slug control - These have been amazingly effective. Having tried beer traps, sticky tape and similar low tech solutions to slugs eating my runner beans, I decided to try a chemical approach. I opted for these as being OK for cats & other wildlife. Had to estimate the recommended quantity - seemed a very meagre scattering on the soil. The blue pellets were visible for several days, but gradually disappeared and I have not had any slug damage since putting them down. So I now have a huge quantity of effective slug pellets which will last for years! ## Features - A slug killer based on Ferramol and certified for organic use - Active ingredients - Ferric Phosphate - Use as directed to protect children and pets - Remains effective after exposure to rain, watering and sunlight ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001AP9YQ0 | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (273) | | Date First Available | 9 July 2007 | | Manufacturer | William Sinclair Horticulture ltd | | Manufacturer reference | PLA0136P | | Package Dimensions | 25 x 7.8 x 7.8 cm; 453.59 g | | Part number | PLA0136P | ## Images ![Growing Success Advanced Slug Killer, 575 g - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DNTa6wAJL.jpg) ![Growing Success Advanced Slug Killer, 575 g - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718iUDroOoL.jpg) ![Growing Success Advanced Slug Killer, 575 g - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71EV2h90lSL.jpg) ![Growing Success Advanced Slug Killer, 575 g - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gqv56HcqL.jpg) ![Growing Success Advanced Slug Killer, 575 g - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7132h0OCAaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good product *by S***C on 22 July 2014* I use only this product for killing slugs.

I went for this after reading some RSPB info. but there is a lot of conflicting advice on the web. It seems to work at protecting hostas and other vulnerable plants. But perhaps the slugs are mutating into creatures of monstrous size as all the bait was taken on the first night - but many of the hosta leaves had been snapped off and strewn around, and lots of small pebbles the size of bantams eggs had been moved by the midnight prowler in its search for the bait! I suspect early morning crows or magpies spotting the bait and doing the damage and stone-moving. I've tied shiny foil onto sticks nearby and this seems to have stopped the problem. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/49259440-growing-success-advanced-slug-killer-575-g](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/49259440-growing-success-advanced-slug-killer-575-g) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
