Hi
My first post on this Forum - Hello everyone.
I dont use mataldahyde because it gives me a serious itch
that lasts for months. I have used SLUGGO. Sluggo uses
Iron phosphate to kill the slugs and snails and that component
actually turns to a beneficial fertilizer when the stuff decays
but what is the slimy stuff that forms around the pellets?Is
it the Iron phosphate or something else they are useing to attract
snails to eat it. I dont like the appearance of the stuff but it
sure seems to work. Have found Brown Millipedes on top of my
potting medium (about 3 inches long - round brown bodies)which
also seem to be dead but I pull them out and put 250 pounds
thru my shoeon them to be sure - has anyone else found these
things in their pots? By the way WAL-MART has an Iron Phosphate
type bait at a much lower cost than Sluggo - neither of the baits
will harm pets or birds.
