Sluxx HP is a premium slug control bait formulated as durable granules for effective use in amenity areas, edible crops and non-edible crops. It provides reliable protection against slug damage across a wide range of planting situations.
The active ingredient works by disrupting the slug's calcium metabolism after the bait is consumed. As a result, slugs quickly stop feeding, become less mobile and typically die within 3 to 6 days. As feeding ceases soon after ingestion, plants and crops benefit from reduced damage almost immediately.
Designed for long-lasting performance, Sluxx HP granules offer excellent resistance to wet weather. They remain effective after rainfall and can continue providing slug control for up to seven days, helping to maintain consistent protection in challenging conditions.
Instructions for use
Where to use
Sluxx HP has on label approval for use on the following crops:
- Amenity vegetation

When to use
Sluxx HP should be applied directly after sowing or planting out. As slugs can be active all year round, it is best to apply Sluxx HP when plants are at their most susceptible to damage.

How to use
- Apply evenly for the best results as slugs are random feeders and encounter food sources by chance.
- Sluxx HP can be applied at a rate of up to 7g/m2 for a maximum of four applications per year.
- If rain is heavy or continuous, or if slug damage continues to occur, a repeat treatment can be applied as early as seven days after application.
Active substances
Ferric phosphate
Chemical group: Ferric phosphate has a contact mode of action which relies on ingestion.
Bio-chemical mode of action: Ferric phosphate works by disrupting calcium metabolism in the slugs stomach which causes it to cease feeding.
Mobility: Ferric phosphate must be ingested by the slug to take effect.
Application timing: Ferric phosphate should be applied when slugs are active and plants are at a susceptible stage.
Resistance: There are no records of resistance to plant protection products containing ferric phosphate for slug control.
