Testing ‘safe’ slug pellets....

(1/3) > >>

gwynleg:
So my starting pots of dahlias were getting massacred by slugs/snails so I have been using organic approved slug pellets every day. Each day the pellets have all disappeared and I thought that I had a huge slug problem. Until today when I saw a pigeon hoovering them all up!

So as long as the pigeon keeps returning, I’d say they are safe for other creatures....!

ancellsfarmer:
Which  Brand/compound are you using? Do they kill molluscs?, or does the sight of a large grey bird make them run for cover!!

ACE:
A cheap jar of instant coffee will be safe, the only trouble is it that it keeps the birds awake and singing all night. :toothy10:

ancellsfarmer:
In your dreams!!

lezelle:
Hi, I wonder about the safety if the birds are eating them. I to, like Ancells, wonder what they are and what the label says. Hope you have more pigeons than slugs now. Perhaps the slugs have left as the pigeon's have eaten all the food. Are they blue pellets? Blue is supposed to put all other creatures off them. Interesting. Would like to know more. Cheers
