Our European suppliers have developed a highly rain-fast formulation, that can be used at any time, wet or dry. Delicia® SLUGGOFF® Lentil bait is also long-lasting to give some residual crop protection after a single application. Usually only one treatment is required to obtain complete knockdown of slug and snail populations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelicia® SLUGGOFF® Lentil bait is spread very thinly and should not be applied in heaps. Coupled with the inclusion of a bittering agent, the risks to pets is reduced. However, it is important to avoid placing or storing large quantities where pets have access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is for these reasons Delicia® SLUGGOFF® Lentil bait is the biggest innovation in slug and snail management for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Healthy Plus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29924317102162,"sku":"9331951007024","price":14.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0078\/8457\/0706\/products\/Sluggoff_200g_Shaker.jpg?v=1595995203","url":"https:\/\/nibali-stockfeed.myshopify.com\/products\/delicia-sluggoff-200g","provider":"Nibali Stockfeed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
