[Food] Slug pellets banned from today

[jevs]

Instead of buying beer for slug traps, chat with your local bar staff or landlord and ask them for some "slops"

Slug flavoured lager - coming soon to a Wetherspoons near you.

Inbuilt added protein, so no need to buy one of their meals or overpriced crisps.

Who’s going to Police this ‘ban’? Another law with zero teeth, can’t see many gardeners throwing out their already purchased stock.

Funnily enough slugs aren't a big part of the hedgehog diet but yes I have a good population of frogs, newts & slow worms in the garden. We also seem to have quite a few leopard slugs as well.

Humans have killed all the hedgehogs

Yeah, sorry about that. I was having a bad day.

Lovely stuff. Real ale though? Can't think of a better use than killing slugs!

Still on sale on Amazon, actually twice the price that I remember ever paying for.

A tortoise was crossing the road when he was mugged by a gang of slugs. The police showed up and asked the tortoise what happened. “I don’t know,” the tortoise replied. “It all happened so quickly”

Lagers been used for a long time.

But you need to spread all these watering holes around your garden, slugs are not like craft beer drinkers that can sniff a micro brewery through their beards.

Downside is pissed birds staggering around your garden like you find in wind street, Swansea on a Saturday night.

I used to race snails professionally, one day a fellow competitor suggested to make my best thoroughbreds go faster I should remove their shells - something to do with aerodynamics.

Anyway, to cut a long story short I did as he suggested but found shortly afterwards if anything, my snails were a bit more sluggish...

What's the penalties if my friend gets rumbled by the local hauticultural soc.?

 

[bluenitsuj]

Slug pellets are not banned across the board. Only those containing metaldehyde, just for clarification

 

[Bry Nylon]

Pellets are a waste of time and effort, frankly and very fiddly.

I bought a big container of the things and by the end of the night I don’t think I’d hit a single slug.
