Liquid lug killer?
Anyone know if there is a reason for this being hard to get hold of at
present? I only use a small amount, a bottle usually last 5 years or so so its been a while since I bought any. -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk National collections of Clematis viticella & Lapageria rosea |

If you mean Bayer Provado Ultimate Bug Killer Concentrate 400ml I got some only a few weeks ago, although I had to go to a few different garden centres and shops before I found any. -- Jeff |

Given that the B is so far away from the L on a qwerty, I think he meant 'liquid slug killer'. I'm assuming almost all bug killer is liquid |

I had a look through the approved pesticides list for metaldehyde at https://secure.pesticides.gov.uk/garden/prodsearch.asp, but the only liquid product is Scott's Slug Clear Liquid Concentrate. All the others are pellets or bait. There is some on Amazon at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Clear-Liqui.../dp/B003P8TLSQ but it's not exactly cheap! -- Jeff |

I will use Aluminium sulphate solution for the spraying vertical surfaces -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk National collections of Clematis viticella & Lapageria rosea |

I know methiocarb went a couple of years ago, but I didn't know metaldehyde was on the way out. Are you sure about that? I don't use them but I assume the standard blue pellets will quickly follow suit. Seems to me everything for the amateur is getting banned unless it's "green". Any views on nematodes? External is preferable to internal... :-) I've never used them. They have always seemed very expensive and a bit too temperature dependent. Maybe others have had success. I will use Aluminium sulphate solution for the spraying vertical surfaces So you're Banksy! All unapproved pesticidal uses for chemicals are frowned upon, of course, so you can't be using alum for that, can you?... -- Jeff |

(which is why we drink our own well water)In too large a dose like happened at Camelford its nasty, but it is approved for use in organic growing so I guess not against the rules to use it -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk National collections of Clematis viticella & Lapageria rosea |
