Slugs and Greenhouses

???
Dont want to use slug pellets anywhere on the open plot, but wondered if it would be ok to use them around the greenhouse to stop the b***ers eating my baby plants? Logic is that if they are inside no birds can get to them?? Whaddya think?

I have no scruples at all about using pellets in the greenhouses/polytunnel-outside is another matter.

Cut the side out of a used ice cream tub, cut a hole in the side big enough for the snails to get in too, put the pellets in and pop the lid on, and put it near your plants or dot a couple about here and there. wont pollute your soil or birds etc.

I`m against beer traps-they attract beneficial beasties as well as slugs/snails

Smear 'Vic's vapour rub' in the lower door runner and anywhere else you have a gap.
