Effective
Before the end of the spring season, a slug and snail population can irreversibly damage a garden for the coming year. With this infestation, bedding plants can be completely devoured within 24 hours of planting. Young slugs and snails have surprisingly ravenous appetites despite their small size, and adult slugs and snails can eat many times their weight. Through June, slugs and snails will continue to hatch and destroy plants in tender stages, remaining a menace through the fall if left untreated.
The most effective way to stop a devastating slug or snail infestation is to use bait formulated with Meta® active ingredient. Slug and snail baits such as Corry’s® and Deadline® brands make use of this fast-acting active ingredient, which effectively stops a slug or snail from feeding on your favorite roses, dahlias and marigolds, among other plants and flowers, the instant they ingest the bait.
Specific
Products formulated with Meta® active ingredient can rid your property specifically of slugs and snails. Meta® baits will not harm organisms vital to the health of the soil and plants.
This means the earthworms that aerate and work plant litter into soil, the predatory beetles that feed on snails and slugs, and the bees that pollinate your flowers will all continue to provide their natural benefits to your garden.
Unlike other baits, when slugs and snails ingest products that employ Meta® active ingredient, they cannot recover. The bait immediately begins to destroy their mucus-producing cells and stops them from feeding on your garden.
Reliable
Because snails and slugs can destroy plants during all seasons, it is important to use bait that is effective in all weather conditions - humidity, rain, or full sun. Products bearing the Meta® logo will continue to provide the most efficient results. In fact, Meta® baits can work for up to two weeks in the rain and are rapidly decomposed into carbon dioxide and water by microorganisms, which means Meta® baits are environmentally friendly.
Home gardeners who consistently water their lawns and gardens while using plenty of organic matter can inadvertently create an optimal environment for slugs and snails to ravage fruits, vegetables and flowers. Combined with the fact that slugs and snails prefer to feed in damp, cool areas, home gardeners may need a slug and snail bait that can withstand those conditions. Meta® active ingredient is proven to remain effective in wet conditions.
Meta® products work in all weather, from the northwestern rains that slugs depend on to the southern California sun that snails endure. Meta® baits are the answer. In fact, baits employing Meta® active ingredient are used all across America in order to protect home gardens!
