Slug trouble ... but not in the garden!!

Incidentally, Eurofeeds, DON'T sprinkle the slug pellets too closely.
The slug killer element can be detected (smelt) by slugs and they will
turn away from them. Only a small percentage of each pellet (less than
10%) is killer, the rest is something to attract them/cover the scent.
A single pellet, maybe two at most, placed carefully across a trail
would probably be enough. Half a dozen would be too many. I know this
sounds daft but so many things in life are.

As a matter if interest, some time ago I accidentally droped a single pellet
on a tarmac path. Later there was a very direct trail on the path and a slug
at the pellet. Thr trail was about five feet long and very direct!
