Monterey 5# Sluggo Plus

Effective Against a Broad Range of Pests

Monterey Sluggo Plus is designed to tackle a broad spectrum of pests, offering comprehensive protection for your garden. The product is especially effective against earwigs, cutworms, sowbugs, pillbugs, crickets, ants (excluding fire ants, harvester ants, pharaoh ants, and carpenter ants), slugs, and snails. These pests can wreak havoc on your plants by eating leaves, stems, and roots, leading to significant damage. With Sluggo Plus, you can effectively target and eliminate these destructive pests before they cause harm.

Snail and Slug Control

One of the primary benefits of Sluggo Plus is its effectiveness in controlling snails and slugs, which are known for their ability to decimate a garden quickly. These pests are particularly active in moist environments and can feed on various plants, including vegetables, flowers, and ornamentals. 

Sluggo Plus attracts these pests with its active ingredient, iron phosphate, which they consume and stop feeding. After ingestion, the snails and slugs die, providing long-lasting plant protection.

Insect Control with Spinosad

In addition to controlling slugs and snails, Monterey Sluggo Plus contains Spinosad, a naturally derived insecticide that kills various insect pests. Spinosad is known for its ability to target insects such as earwigs, cutworms, sowbugs, pillbugs, crickets, and ants. Once ingested, Spinosad disrupts the insect's nervous system, leading to rapid death. This dual-action formula ensures that crawling insects and mollusks are kept in check, offering complete protection for your garden.

Safe for Organic Gardening

One of the standout features of Monterey Sluggo Plus is that it meets the standards set by the National Organic Program (NOP), making it safe to use in organic gardening. For gardeners committed to organically growing plants, this product provides an effective solution without synthetic chemicals. 

The active ingredients, including iron phosphate and Spinosad, are derived from natural sources and are safe for use around edible crops. This means you can confidently use Sluggo Plus in vegetable gardens, fruit orchards, and herb gardens without worrying about harmful residues.

Using Sluggo Plus allows gardeners to maintain an organic approach while still achieving excellent pest control results, supporting the health of your plants and the environment.

Easy to Apply and Long-Lasting

Monterey Sluggo Plus is not only practical but also easy to use. It comes in granular form and is easily spread over affected areas in your garden. The application rate ranges from ½ to 1 pound per 1,000 square feet, depending on the level of pest infestation. This allows for precise treatment that targets the specific pests you're dealing with. 

Additionally, the product remains effective for an extended period, providing ongoing protection after a single application.

One of the great benefits of Sluggo Plus is its rainproof formulation. Even after exposure to rain or irrigation, the granules remain active, continuing to control pests. This long-lasting nature of the product means you won't have to reapply frequently, saving you both time and money.

Safe for Pets, Wildlife, and Beneficial Insects

In addition to being safe for organic gardening, Monterey Sluggo Plus is non-toxic to pets, wildlife, and beneficial insects when used as directed. This makes it an excellent choice for gardeners who want to protect their gardens without threatening the surrounding ecosystem. The product does not harm earthworms, bees, or other beneficial insects, allowing your garden's natural balance to thrive while targeting the pests that threaten your plants.

As Sluggo Plus breaks down into naturally occurring elements in the soil, it doesn't leave behind harmful residues. This is particularly important for pet owners or those with wildlife visiting their garden, as you can rest assured that your garden is safe from toxic chemicals.

Versatile Use in a Variety of Outdoor Settings

While Monterey Sluggo Plus is ideal for residential gardens, its versatility also extends to other outdoor areas. It can be used in flower beds, vegetable gardens, fruit trees, container gardens, and even landscape beds. Whether you are trying to protect your home garden or a larger landscape, Sluggo Plus offers flexibility for various outdoor applications.

Its ability to control insect pests and mollusks makes it especially useful for areas with multiple types of pests. Whether you're a home gardener or a professional landscaper, this product provides the all-in-one solution you need for pest control.
