Slug Pellets - Organic and Safe

People do all sorts of things to defeat the slugs and snails yet the old fashioned answer of slug pellets has fallen out of favour even though it is effective, cheap and easy, because of fears of harming pets and wildlife

Now there is an answer in that you can use the safe Ferramol based pellets, which I think are better than the old metaldehyde based pellets, and get rid of your slugs.

You can buy these in the shops and we've got a huge range of slug prevention methods on the site. I like to use these Advanced Slug Killer pellets on my plot.

As someone with 4 cats, I'm not willing to take risks with them and I know these pellets are safe if used correctly. Always read the instructions on the pack and follow them. Too many pellets can actually be counter productive.
