Hi,

A couple of days ago I bought some slug/snail baits (no beer baits,
using another substance). These are not supposed to harm wildlife other
than slugs & snails. Unfortunately, I've had 2 drowned mice in the
baits - I don't want to hurt mice in the garden.

Would this happen if I used beer rather than false bait? Is there any
way I can avoid it happening?

What is this "other substance" that you are using?
Whatever it is reduce the depth of it, 3/4 inch is enough to drown slugs and
not mice.
