    Too many pellets. You'll attract the slugs! You would only needĀ  half a dozen. Max
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Agree ... just a very few pellets needed and place them further away from the slugsā€™ favourite supper ... you donā€™t want to attract them towards it.Ā

    Four slug pellets are enough around one plant, youā€™ll just poison the soil/compost,!Ā

    I donā€™t mind using a few slug pellets in post and tubs but not on the open ground where thereā€™s Ā hedgehogs, frogs and toads feeding at night.Ā
