In the UK, a company called Growing Success has launched a Slug Pellet based on Ferrous Phosphate, which is approved as Organic, being no threat to friendly birds, frogs , etc.

On a lighter note, a magazine suggested borrowing a Kitchen Food Mixer, but not the wife's, to turn drowned slugs and snails into a rare cocktail! Apparently, spreading this on the flower beds is a deterrent to other slugs!

A useful tip is to ensure the lid is fixed tightly!!!
