Thank you OldGardener. Great explanation for Shaw. I too use the one safe for pets and children, as I also worry about any other animals that may come into my yard, including the birds.
Something else I learned is that most people apply it way to heavy. It needs to be applied very lightly. Since we have so much rain during fall/winter/spring this one is also bait of choice, for your reason listed above.
Also because I can use it around the veggies.
The PNW is the land of slugs, the slug capital of the US.
Shaw, I am so glad you have not acquired chickens. I would miss you terrible. And I am way to far away to come visit you in jail.
