Kendon Escar-Go 5L | Ready-to-Use Snail & Slug Repellent

Protect vulnerable plants from snail and slug damage with Kendon Escar-Go, a ready-to-use, copper-based surface barrier for home gardens.

Unlike conventional snail bait, Escar-Go works through direct contact with the treated surface. Its buffered copper complex discourages snails and slugs from crossing the barrier, helping protect seedlings, vegetables, fruit trees and ornamental plants.

How Escar-Go Works

Escar-Go creates a treated surface that snails and slugs are reluctant to cross.

When they come into contact with the buffered copper complex, it irritates their soft body tissue and disrupts normal movement. This helps discourage them from travelling across the treated area and feeding on vulnerable plants.

Escar-Go is a repellent and is not designed to kill snails or slugs.

Where to Use

Escar-Go may be used as directed around:

• Seedlings and newly planted garden beds

• Vegetable gardens

• Fruit trees

• Ornamental plants

• Raised garden beds

• Pots and containers

• Greenhouse and nursery areas

• Trunks, stems and canes

• Gravel areas and garden pathways

• Garden benches and outdoor furniture

• Other surfaces where snails and slugs regularly travel

Do not apply to painted metal surfaces.
