Got Slugs? New solution - "Slug Paint" from Eutrema

Jun 18, 2026 · 17 min · Ep 24

Dr. Russell Sharp explains the history of slug control, why traditional metaldehyde was banned, and how Eutrema developed a chelated ferric phosphate gel called Slugger as a safer alternative.

He reveals a new, simple use: painting a thin, long‑lasting barrier around pots and raised beds to deter slugs and snails. Slugger is pet‑friendly, provides iron nutrition, works well on terracotta, and can protect containerised plants for weeks.
