I wonder if you'r get similar results without the product. Your method of laying
boards and killing the slugs under them every morning is a well known way to
control slugs.

No I don't think so (not unless the slug problem is fairly minor in the first place).
Yes I have been also using the board method before I started using FP pellets.In my opinion it works much better with the pellets . But I still kill the slugs when I see them to be doubly sure.
Perhaps when I gain confidence all that will be necessary will be to make sure that the plants are not getting damaged (and then I will just leave the slugs to die)
