Monterey - Sluggo - Wildlife and Pet Friendly - Snail & Slug Killer, OMRI Listed for Organic Gardening - 2.5-Pounds

Q: What is the difference between Sluggo and Sluggo Plus?

Sluggo Plus kills more garden insects. Earwigs, cutworms, sow bugs, pill bugs. Sluggo is designed only to target snails and slugs. My opinion (and it is only that) is sow bugs and pill bugs and earwigs are neutral insects and are great mulchers. Earwigs like meat so will eat flies and other pesky insects. (Where's the beef??). I only use Sluggo and let the other insects do their thing.

Q: Is Sluggo safe around animals right out of container?

NO IT IS NOT - The iron doesn't harm anything, not even slugs. However, in combination with EDTA it kills slugs...AND mammals...pets, wildlife...kids. Obviously the larger and more healthy the mammal (human) and or the less they eat it's a matter of getting "only" sick, not dead. However...pets, wildlife...your kid?EDTA is not required to be listed in the US, but it is in Australia. The bait will attract mammals because of the cereal used to attract slugs. Veterinarians around the US are constantly warning their clients not to use this product AS DIRECTED."As Directed" - if you have animals (wildlife) around, sprinkle some under a board. Unintended mammals are unlikely to get to it, but the slugs will have two reasons to go there: protection from the sun and food: Sluggo. The bait will last longer out of the rain and you'll use less.

Q: Can this be used over mulch or on concrete? They travel onto the porch. I have bushes but no garden.

The bait draws the slugs and snails to it. Just spread it near the concrete - they will find the bait. It can be used over mulch.

Q: Can I sprinkle it right onto “weed prevention” mat or should it go onto soil?

I think you should sprinkle it where ever the snails travel. If you have landscape fabric that is exposed and they crawl across it, then yes, sprinkle some there. I don't have much bare earth in my yard. It is all lawn and landscape bark. I apply Sluggo to both these mediums with positive results.
