Slug pellets have contributed to the decline of the Thrush and other native songbirds?
Given the number of birds that die from eating poisoned slugs, how come they've never been banned?
In our garden, we control slugs with trays of cheap beer. They crawl in, drown, and we then dump them on the lawn for the birds to have a non-toxic feed.
A cheap can (40 pence) can nobble about 40 slugs (and the odd snail as well).
