Default using slug pellets on veg patch?

Do you find it works?

haven't actually tried it here this year yet but it certainly worked
previously on my heavy, sodden clay in Cheshire. I was under the impression
that slug pellets left poisonous slug remains which killed birds and frogs
etc which I wanted to avoid so, after trying and giving up on all the
various "safe to other wildlife barrier" methods, I tried nemoslug and found
it worked well, even when applied at slightly less than the recommended
rate. I also found that it seemed to last longer than 6 weeks.
