How does it work? NitroFarm
After taking Sluxx it stops feeding since 1976
It has attractive properties and acts on the stomach.After ingestion of the
product, snails and slugs stop feeding and secrete secretions into plants.WHY?
FePO3 causes abnormal changes in cells in the stomach and pancreas resulting
in death

areas is not prohibited
◆ During the application the bait should not come into contact
◆ Human access to the areas where the formulation was applied is possible with the edible parts of the plants that are ready for consumption
without risk after 6 hours
◆ Up to three (3) applications can be made per growing season
◆ Based on its marketing authorization, it does not show toxicity to beesIt is
