I have never before heard of pellets which do not work. Are they actually metaldehyde pellets, or are they some substitute? Franz |

Go out at night with a torch and a bucket, especially after rain. Collect the offending beasts in the bucket and sprinkle liberally with salt. Repeat this nightly until the frosts. Start again in Spring. -- Regards, Alan. Preserve wildlife - Pickle a SQUIRREL to reply. |

Encourage predators - it's a major undertaking and means you must stop using poisons but it's worth it. In the mean-time, the torch and bucket routine - as suggested by Alan Gould - will yield splendid results. -- William Tasso |
