Watering with slug Killer?
Repotted a paph that was not doing well & found a bil ol' slug on the roots. I have seen no leaf damage. Of course, I repotted the paph & killed the slug.
Has anyone tried putting slug killer (which is an iron oxide) into the water? Much like how fols water with physan? Any other suggestions for slugs? Thanks~~ Pedi |
I know iron (III) phosphate can be used, but I never heard of any form of iron oxide being used against slugs (except in the form of a rusty shovel). Are you sure it's iron oxide?
NB: iron (III) phosphate is not soluble in water. Sluggo is a mixture of iron phosphate with some other stuff; slugs are supposed to stop feeding and die a few days after munching on sluggo. I have no idea how it works, or whether iron phosphate gets dissolved in the process. |
yes, you're right it is Iron phosphate. For some reason I was thinking of rust. It was a hectic day. I did spread out he bait. we'll see.
Thanks Pedi |
