Thread: Poison for snail and slug pellet

Why not just buy the cheapest?
As far as I know they should all work

And I also I am looking one for ANT and Spider

Because at Bunnings I found heaps of them, but I do not which to buy ?

Thanks

For snails

For bugs

Just be aware Zilla, and read the warnings on the pack, that your dogs will find snail bait delicious and if spread irresponsibly it will KILL them.

A bowl of stale beer with the lip at ground level (dig a little hole to set it in) will prove irresistable to slugs and snails, they will drown themselves by the dozen.
I find Ant Rid in a yellow squeeze bottle from Bunnies works pretty well on Green Ants.

SD,

I seem to remember some Bread soaked in it; the beer.
Also the Bread on a piece of Vaselineded Conduit across the top,
or was that for Mice,
perhaps Cockroaches

Anyhow,
They all Compost up well,
and not Poisonous to the native birdlife
Nor the Veges in the Garden

Found this out the other day accidentally, someone left a beer outside and some very happy/dead slugs were found next to it the next day.
