Product Description

Dear reader, we want to disturb nature’s perfect harmony as little as conceivable. This is why we have been developing environmentally friendly products for the home and garden since 1854. It was then that the W. Neudorff Company was founded in what used to be Prussia. The company was one of the crucial first in Germany to manufacture pesticides and animal care products. In 1959 my grandfather, Rudolf Lohman, bought the company and brought it to Emmerdale in Lower Saxony. Since then, our aim has been to minimise our have an effect on on the environment. We achieve this through the use of renewable energy in our production plants and the selection of only the most sustainable raw materials for our products. This means that you’ll enjoy creating a beautiful, natural garden with a clear sense of right and wrong. By maintaining this natural cycle in your garden you ensure that beneficial insects, birds, hedgehogs and other garden dwellers feel at home as well. And in doing so you are working in harmony with the green paradise on your doorstep. I hope you have a great gardening season and enjoy the benefits of a natural garden. Yours, Hans-Martin Lohman (Managing Director – Neudorff). – Greedy night feeders. Slugs and Snails. These slimy visitors come mostly under cover of darkness. They descend on newly planted lettuce with a vengeance but their favourite foods also include strawberries, hosts and dahlias. Usually there isn’t much left in the morning, only their slimy trails show who was responsible. By providing shelter to hedgehogs and shrews in the garden you’ll help reduce the scourge but additional help is required in the fight to save produce and flowers. Slugs and snails love to come out in the rain. Reinhardt Arndt, head of our experimental garden, knows why: “Slugs and snails have to consume lots of water in order to produce the slime which helps them to move. This explains why they mainly appear when there is lots of moisture around as then there is not any danger of them drying out. In developing the Sluggo Slug & Snail Killer we made sure that the pellets may be able to absorb plenty of water so that they’re going to appear particularly attractive.” Prevent slugs and snails. -With a few measures, it is conceivable to reduce the annoying plague of slugs and snails. These include: Only watering plants in the morning . Where conceivable, placing slug barriers around plants .Keep breaking up the soil so that the slugs’ hiding places are destroyed Using plants that slugs and snails don’t like the taste of such as aquilegia, saxifrage, monkshood, sedum, lady’s mantle , campanula, nasturtium. No dead slugs and snails visible. – With Sluggo Slug & Snail Killer Sluggo Slug & Snail Killer contains ferric phosphate, an active ingredient which also occurs in nature. “Once the slugs and snails have ingested Sluggo Slug & Snail Killer they stop eating”, says Reinhardt Arndt, experimental engineer for the development of pesticides. “Sluggo Slug & Snail Killer causes the slugs and snails to creep back into their hiding places in the ground to die. Which means that the slime trail that slugs and snails are so well known for does not occur. The dead slugs and snails are no longer visible as they die in the ground and quickly decompose.” Sluggo Slug & Snail Killer poses no threat to birds, hedgehogs, earthworms, pets, bees and other useful insects. Both iron and phosphorous are plant nutrients which results in any excess pellets being broken down unexpectedly in the soil, leaving no residue behind.
