Hello all
I was told last year at a garden show to put slug pellets out on the 14th of Feb.
Can anyone advise of which to use that won't be harmful to wildlife, any recommendations?
Thank you

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
There is a 'Garden Safe Slug and Snail Bait',..( UG-4536 ) it contains Iron Phosphate,..it will not harm your Children,..Dogs or other Wildlife,..such as Hedgehogs Earthworms and insects.

Starting early means you get them as they emerge from hibernation or hatch from eggs and before they have a chance to feed and breed. Don't scatter indiscriminately as some slugs recycle garden waste and plant debris. Just do enough to protect your treasures.
