Advantages: Kills slugs

Disadvantages: May harm others

Before I talk about the product I am writing about today, I would just like to give you a few details about the pest I am trying to get rid of with the aid of this product.

--------------------------THE SLUG----------------------------

This is the time of year when slug eggs, which can be found in your garden soil, when you are turning it over ready to plant your plants for the summer.

The eggs are pale in colour and are laid in a group of about 20 or more eggs. They lie undeveloped in the soil until the time is right for them to hatch. If you see a bunch of eggs get rid of them quick before they do hatch.

The adults snails are still around though, they hide in the winter under the soil. When the time is right for them to appear you can easily see all of the tell tale signs of their presence by the silvery slime trails left around your garden.

There are a number of different slugs around the main ones being:

Dark brownish/ grey slug with an orange under side. He causes a lot of damage.

Large Black not much damage

Great grey lives in damp places

One of the worst slugs for causing damage is the netted slug he is a small creamy coloured slug, who does most damage to greens ,cabbages etc.

What shall we do about them?

I used to spend a fortune sprinkling salt on top of them and watch them shrivel up.

Then I turned into a real sadist when I discovered Bio slug pellets. I found out I could kill thousands of slugs in one go for a reasonable price. Just £2.99 for 800g. (available from most major garden centres) prices may vary.

These pellets come in a large green bottle/tub kind of thing and are easy to sprinkle around your garden. Spread them thinly not is piles.(wash your hands after using)

They are blue in colour which deters birds from picking them up and they are shower proof. So no worry of them being washed away.

They Contain 3%

w/w metaldehyde so I wouldn not be using them if I had small children or pets around.

I know I have got a dog but he chooses to ignore them, but that is my dog it is up to you if you want to take the risk of putting the pellets down.

These excellent pellets do protect your flowers, fruit and vegetables to a very good degree.

The only problem some people may have about using them, is the fact that you are left with dead slug bodies around the garden. I do not have a problem with this as they are soon shoveled up and disposed of.

If you value your plants /veg etc as much as I do I would advise you to try some bio slug pellets.

Thanks for the read.
