Yea I tried beer traps before and I really didn't like them, I also tried several other things like Vaseline.
But as I said in my earlier post I really find ferramol pellets excellent, and they are harmless to animals and children and my dog can attest to this as he has broke in to my tunnel and managed to eat some, they also don't leave the mess behind them.

I was just put in a search to see if any gardeners had hens or ducks & came across the posts about slugs. It brought back memories having been plagued in the past. Firstly I tried the iron oxide pellets but not much luck as they seemed to wash away too quickly & were turning out expensive. I thought about beer but my husband was reluctant to part with his precious tipple! I now have ducks & hens, the answer to my prayers. Have to keep the hens in a run at certain times of the year until plants are established. The veg patch is also fenced off & only the ducks let in occassionally to blitz the slugs & luckily mine leave the veg intact. [/code][/quote]

Woops! I was trying to edit & looks like I've posted twice. How can I get rid of 1.
I've tried editing/delete but cannot work it out. Help!
