Ferramol®+ contains the active ingredient iron phosphate, which occurs naturally in the environment and is even commonly used in the food industry.
Compared to other slug control products, Ferramol®+ has many significant advantages:
The product is not dangerous if accidentally ingested by pets (dogs, cats) or other animals (such as hedgehogs). Ferramol®+ does not harm earthworms, bees, birds or other beneficial organisms.
Ferramol®+ is highly dangerous only to slugs. The granules are so attractive to them that they immediately begin to consume them. Shortly after consuming the bait, the slugs stop feeding due to a feeling of satiety, so plants are protected from further damage within a short time.
With a feeling of satiety, the slugs retreat back into their underground hiding places and die there.
When the slugs die, there is no excessive and repulsive slime production, so the surface of the beds remains clean (unlike other similar products). There is also no need to collect dead slugs, as they die in their underground hiding places.
The effectiveness of Ferramol®+ is not reduced in rain or wet weather, when slugs are most active.
The granules swell due to moisture and are then even more attractive to slugs. In dry conditions, the granules return to their original size. Even after repeated swelling, the granules do not disintegrate and do not lose their effectiveness.
