Slugs have got to lots of my brassica seedlings. I'm reluctant to use
pellets though.

I find that they don't work. I used to use them very sparingly,
without much success, so I tried one test of putting almost a
layer of them around some plants, and it had no more effect.
So I shan't ever buy them again.

We had reasonable success with nemaslugs, but I think their effectiveness has pretty
much died off now, as we haven't bothered for a year or more.
