Metaldehyde is harmful to anything that eats slugs and snails so amphibians, thrushes, hedgehogs....... as well as any pets or children who find and eat them.
The wildlife friendly ones are based on a ferrous compound which is harmful only to slugs and snails and any surplus breaks down easily in the soil.
So not good for our birds, frogs or toads. I'll continue with the organic pellets and Early Morning Ammonia Spray Patrol.
