Description
Polymet Molluscicide | Granular Snail & Slug Control Bait for Gardens & Lawns
Protect your garden from destructive mollusks with Polymet Molluscicide, a professional-grade bait treatment formulated to eliminate snails and slugs. Moisture-resistant and specially engineered to adhere to damp soil, Polymet delivers long-lasting protection during high-humidity periods, heavy irrigation, or post-rainfall when soft-bodied mollusks are most active.
Operating via a dual-action mechanism (contact and ingestion), Polymet prevents snails and slugs from chewing holes in tender leaves, soft stems, flowering buds, seedlings, and fruit trees across residential, commercial, and agricultural landscapes.
