Copper Anti Slug and Snail Rings
In article
, Adam Aglionby writes Whats the problem with blue pellet slug killer? Coming in a bit late on this one... I'm not sure how much of a danger they are - eg to birds that might eat poisoned slugs/snails. Our main problem is snails rather than slugs. I don't like the idea of using poison pellets but in frustration, sometimes end up doing so. I saw something a while back about a different sort of slug pellet - an iron compound of some sort that isn't poisonous as such - but apparently kills slugs by blowing them up (in the stomach filling rather than explosive manner) I think. If it works, I'd guess it was a double win - as instead of leaving unsightly slug/snail remains over the garden, you could just go out with a big magnet and gather them up However, I haven't actually come across it to buy yet -- regards andyw |
