Slug pellet question
Do slug pellets (or poisoned slugs) harm wildlife? I've not had cause to
wage war with slugs here yet as their damage is fairly limited yet. There are lots of birds and wildlife living around the garden, and I sometimes find toads amongst the vegetables all of which are helping keep the slug and snail population down. However, all this wet weather seems to be boosting their numbers. The quick fix cheap solution would be slug pellets if the slug population becomes a large army of leaf munchers, but would that kill any of my garden allies - the birds, toads, hedgehogs or other wildlife - do the creatures avoid the pellets or poisoned slugs - can they tell if a slug is poisoned? The nematode solution would be too expensive due to the large area to protect. -- David .... Email address on website http://www.avisoft.co.uk |
