Well I hope they don’t get sick. The white ones ( and the blue) contain phosphate as the active ingredient, not metaldehyde which I think has been banned.
Mainly dodged the huge downpours trip to chickens x2 on the Lottie &then cleaned loads of plant labels & a bit of tidying & sorting out as I pottered around the garden
I first put white slug killer down but that was eaten by magpies. I put blue ones down which work and are left alone by birds but dissolve quite quickly because of the rain. So I went into the garden with a bucket and rounded up all the slugs and snail I could find and it was an impressive amount and put a load of salt over them. And I keep on sprinkling blue colored slug killer. Luckily it’s only 4 euro for a can at our local pound shop.
I think you’re right. The pellets they picked were white and now I used blue ones which are left alone. But I wonder why they don’t get sick from slug killer?
The wind has really picked up over the last few hours. I think we've been lucky as we have been dry for the last couple of days despite the forecast. We have plans for tomorrow but I expect them to go west.
