I was looking for an nature friendly product to kill slugs and snails (kind of an oxymoron huh?). Most of the organic products seem marginal at best. The baits attract the slugs, but take a few days to kill them; meanwhile they are laying 20 to 100 eggs a day - nice legacy huh?.

I want an organic product. I found this one product doing a web search. It popped up at www.snail-n-slugaway.com. I see their product advertised on their website, but I don't see a way to purchase it from a retailer or on-line. It looks pretty promising, but I can't seem to find someone who actually is selling it or knows much about it. It looks like it could be an organic way to effectively deal with snails and slugs; it says its and an ovicide too. That is quite appealing to me. So my question is, do you know anything about this product, is it a product that you would carry. I would really like to test it out, but I can't find any place to buy it. Any help you could give me with this would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome, IBSmiley.I don't know about that product. But beer makes a good slug and snail bait. And look here for many other solutions.

You can also buy Diatomaceous earth, it's organic and cheap.
