hmm... okay - Thanks for your feedback
I will be using the Shocka Mat... (I do have some poisonous pellets
still in my shed)

But since I have to get something new anyway... is there anything you
would recommend?


The active ingredient in "Sluggo" is ferric phosphate, a.k.a. iron
phosphate. It is only poisonous to gastropods, not mammals, for whom it
is a nutrient. Other producers make snail bait using "iron phosphate" so
check labels when looking at snail baits, or ask for "iron phosphate"
snail bait.
