Natural Mineral Snail and Slug Killer
With Elemental Iron
The Only Certified Organic Input to kill Snail and Slugs
A unique component of Natural Mineral Snail and Slug Killer is elemental iron, which is a more effective natural alternative to toxic chemical baits such as metaldehyde and methiocarb, with the product displaying similar or better levels of control and protection.
In fact, all the ingredients are currently used in either food for human consumption, pharmaceuticals or cosmetics for human applications.
The low pH in the snail’s gut activates the product and causes the snails and slugs to stop feeding, leading to the death of the molluscs.

Performance
Mineral Snail & Slug Killer uniquely uses food grade elemental iron, as used in human dietary supplements; with a separate, free form, chelating agent that is widely used in human pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Each on their own have no effect on snails or slugs. They are kept quite separate in the Mineral Snail & Slug Killer bait and do not react with each other, even if the bait pellets are soaked by rain. Only when the bait is eaten by the snails do the two compounds join and activate, in the low pH environment of the snail’s gut, resulting in the death of the snails. The snails or slugs simply lose their appetite and crawl off to seek shelter and protection where they die.
This means it is low-toxic to earthworms, soil micro-organisms, birds, fish, reptiles, and most importantly people and pets.
