Escar-Go!® Slug & Snail Control

Now, nature's secret slug control is available to home gardeners and livestock producers!

Signature Product Escar-Go! is a unique blend of iron phosphate (it occurs naturally in soil) and a bait that lures slugs and snails away from their hiding places. Escar-Go!:

has a powerful lure that slugs and snails find irresistible. Repeated studies have shown that slugs and snails will eat Escar-Go! before they will eat nearby plants.

contains a potent natural control. As soon as these slimy mollusks ingest even a small amount of Escar-Go!, they stop feeding and begin to die within 3 to 6 days.

disposes of snails and slugs without mess. You may not see the dead slugs and snails in your garden because they often crawl away to secluded places to die. But you will notice that your plants are no longer being eaten.
Snails are intermediate hosts for the Spinal Meningeal Worm carried by deer and play a role in contaminating your pastures with this deadly parasite! Use Escar-Go to eliminate the threat of down, paralyzed, animals.

controls in hard-to-reach areas. Because Escar-Go! actually lures snails and slugs from their hiding places, it provides control in any area that slugs frequent-even in mulched beds.

controls better than other standard remedies. Test after test, here and in Europe, has proven that Escar-Go! controls slugs as well as, or better than, diatomaceous earth (D.E.) and other slug and snail remedies, including the standard chemical controls. Though D.E. is a favored organic control, we've seen slugs actually "slime" their way right over a pile of D.E. to get to the plants they covet! Plus, unlike D.E., you won't have to reapply Escar-Go! after every rain.
Any Escar-Go! that isn't eaten will degrade and become part of your garden soil. Naturally, you don't have to worry about secondary poisoning of pets or wildlife.

More About Escar-Go!...
Evening is the best time to apply Escar-Go! because slugs and snails travel and feed mostly at night or in the early morning. Apply Escar-Go! particularly in damp places and in other areas favored by snails and slugs: rockeries, hedges, dichondra lawns, home citrus groves, ivy and other ground covers, where they obtain shelter by day.

Easy to Use!
Scatter Escar-Go! granules on the soil around or near the pastures to be protected. If the soil is dry, wet it before applying. Apply evenly at about 1 lb. per 1000 sq.ft. (That's about 1 level teaspoon per square yard.) Reapply when you see that the bait has been consumed, or at least every 2 weeks. You dont need to reapply it after every rain! Apply more heavily if the infestation is severe, if the area is heavily watered or after long periods of heavy rain.

In addition to protecting your pastures
Escar-Go! protects lettuce, tomatoes, chard, cabbage, squash, corn and other vegetables from slug and snail damage. May also be used in the home orchard, in the berry patch, around hostas and other ornamentals and on lawns. In home greenhouses, may be applied to the soil in plant pots or around greenhouse benches.

Spinal Meningeal Worm

Don't suffer the devastating loss of your valuable Alpaca, Llama, Goat, or Sheep from Spinal Meningeal Paralysis! Treat your pastures today to remove the threat of deadly worm harboring snails. Keep your animals safe.

The Spinal Meningeal Worm is carried by White Tailed Deer with which it has developed a non pathologic relationship. However, wherever a deer leaves it's droppings and snails also exist a mine field is created for other ruminants and camelids! All a goat or Alpaca has to do to be infected by the Spinal Meningeal Worm is come in contact with a snail's slime trail! Conventional treatments for Spinal Meningeal Worm are massive doses of dewormers and anti inflammatories and seldom do animals recover fully once affected. Therefore it makes a lot of sense to incorporate effective prevention measures in to your Spinal Meneingeal Worm strategy! Keep deer away from your livestock with good fences and keep snails out of your pastures with Escar Go!

Personally I have experienced the frustration of an animal paralyzed in the back end from Spinal Meningeal Worm and can tell you that this is a situation where an ounce of prevention is literally worth a pound of cure. Rather than throw immense amounts of money at expensive toxic dewormers for your animals why not try to prevent the problem naturally.
