how safe are they round veg?

I want to be as organic as possible but the buggers are just
everywhere.

TIA

Slug pellets are the only pesticide I use on the veg patch. I never found an
effective economic alternative.
After wiping out the majority of the population on the veg patch, I regularly
put
pellets in the surrounding flower beds and base of the hedge. This "ring of
death"
seems to work quite well and minimises the pellets needed around the veg
themselves.

I have to confess we use them but I do worry what ill effects they have
on birds & mammals that might eat the dying slugs.
