Should slug pellets be banned?
YES! they should be banned and totally! If people want slugs and snails out of their gardens there are many natural ways of doing this. I have two ponds in my garden, one’s a fish pond and the other is a wildlife only pond. The community of wildlife living there also consists of seven mating pairs of frogs! Frogs will eat the slugs and snails in abundance. Problem solved. Slug pellets do so much harm AND they don’t work. The slugs eat the pellets AND the plants and then they die! The birds eat the slugs and THEY die. I don’t think slug pellets should even be sold in the shops. Surely people could manage ONE pond in the garden to help things along and it has the added benefit of providing yet more areas for wildlife at the same time. This is something i feel VERY strongly about. Have a star.
