Slugs are a Serious Pest!

  • An infested field might have as many as 500,000 slugs per acre slugs on fescue grass
  • Slugs ingest 1-2 times their body weight during feeding
  • A heavy infestation can destroy several tons of crop per month

Slug Population Control is Crucial

  • 4 slugs per square foot
  • Average weight = .9 grams
  • Slugs per acre (43,560 X 4) = 174,240
  • Total mass of slugs (174,240 x .9 grams) = 156,816 grams
  • This equals (156,816 grams/453.6 grams per pound) 345.4 lbs
  • A slug can eat its body weight in a single feeding and usually feeds twice in a 24-hour period
  • That equals 345.4 lbs to 690.8 lbs of biomass being eaten per day

Slug and Snail Control Measures

Metaldehyde Bait – With properly balanced hardness & attractant, metaldehyde bait is the most efficacious product on the market today.  It has dual action, poisoning the pest either through ingestion or foot uptake.

Liquid Metaldehyde – Very effective at controlling foraging slugs.  Because of complete coverage of the field and plants, there are millions of source points for the slugs to either ingest or contact – both of which are lethal.

Sulfur Bait – This single mode of action soft chemistry bait controls feeding slugs and requires ingesting a lethal dose, which is the same MOA as the iron baits
