How It Works

Eradicate works by interfering with the oxygen transport system in snails and slugs. After ingestion, these pests stop feeding immediately but do not die instantly; instead, they retreat to their hiding places and die later. This behavior prevents the unsightly accumulation of dead pests around your garden. The active ingredient, Iron EDTA complex, does not accumulate in the environment and poses no risk of secondary poisoning. 

Application Instructions

1. Even Distribution: Sprinkle the pellets evenly around plants to be protected, aiming for approximately 70 pellets per square meter.
2. Timing: Apply after rain or watering when snails and slugs are most active.
3. Avoid Heaps: Do not place pellets in piles; even distribution ensures maximum effectiveness.

Eradicate offers an effective and environmentally friendly solution for controlling snails and slugs in your garden. Its non-toxic formulation ensures safety for pets and wildlife, while its rainfast properties and lack of a withholding period provide convenience and peace of mind for gardeners. Being Australian-made, it is tailored to perform well under local conditions.
