Hi all - I haven't seen any Growing Success or similar pellets in Been and Queued or other diy shops that used to have them, and I'm loathe to pay postage - does anyone know a chain stocking them at present?

could it be that many of us have found that they just do not seem to be working this year

They had them in Wilko last time I looked.

B&Q - if out of stock ask someone and they'll order more in

I tried with organic, had no effect whatsoever 

[Auntiemogs]

I bought mine from Homebase & they seem to be working really well (& no ooky bodies to clean up either - which is nice!).

They had them in homebase up here too.

They always have them in my local hardware store, Wyevale store, all local garden centres. I've been using them for a few years and find them very effective.

I know I'm a long way away but my local Morrisons stocks that, so maybe yours does too.  Nothing in Wilkinsons this year.

There's lots in my local Wilkinsons - called Slug Bait, rather than Slug pellets, to differentiate from the non-organic ones

thanks everyone - esp kajazy, I must have walked straight past it in wilkos yesterday!

I'll just endorse the positive comments about ferric phophate pellets, I've been using themfor years and it definitely helps.

I think organic slug pellets are a placebo designed to make normally rational people part with there hard earned 

IMHO they jusy don't work (this opinion is based on actual tests)

fair enough - but that's not what the Which? tests found...

Plenty of Growing Success in my local B&Q last Wed, got my Dad to get 10% off too!

These work very well for me along with my sunken traps of yeast mixture.
Kept slugs and snails nicely under control this year, despite the rain. Killed loads, but very little plant attack.
