Sluxx HP is a high quality granular bait which is authorised for the control of slugs in amenity vegetation, edible crops and non edible crops.
Once digested, the active substance in Sluxx HP, interferes with calcium metabolism in the slugs stomach. This causes the slug to stop feeding, reduces mobility and the slugs die within 3-6 days. Feeding reduction is seen rapidly after application of Sluxx HP resulting in a reduction in crop or plant damage.
Sluxx HP granules have good resistance to weather and can remain effective even after 7 days and following rainfall.

How to use
- Apply evenly for the best results as slugs are random feeders and encounter food sources by chance.

- If rain is heavy or continuous, or if slug damage continues to occur, a repeat treatment can be applied as early as seven days after application.
Active substances
Ferric phosphate
Chemical group: Ferric phosphate has a contact mode of action which relies on ingestion.
Bio-chemical mode of action: Ferric phosphate works by disrupting calcium metabolism in the slugs stomach which causes it to cease feeding.
Mobility: Ferric phosphate must be ingested by the slug to take effect.
Application timing: Ferric phosphate should be applied when slugs are active and plants are at a susceptible stage.
Resistance: There are no records of resistance to plant protection products containing ferric phosphate for slug control.
