pigeonscout Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 Your bins are not right if anything is getting into them.
Guest youngzimmy Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 I HAVE READ MOST OF THE COMMENTS HERE ON MOST OF THE POSTS MY GARDEN IS RIDDLED WITH SLUGS UP IN DAMP BONNY SCOTLAND MY WIFE IS ALWAYS KILLING THEM WITH A SIMPLE GARDEN TROWEL AND LOTS OF SAND I HAVE NEVER HAD SLUGS IN MY DOO MEAT AT ANY TIME I HAVE BLACK PLASTIC BINS WITH LOOSE FITTING LIDS IN MY OPINION ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE SUPPLIER
Guest Owen Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 I have had the problem in the past. You have already got the answers. Grit, any thing will do but pigeon grit is wonderful because it contains salt. Besides, it will encourage you to change your grit more often. Beer is very good as someone has already told you but if you are getting those little black jobs use garden lime on the soil and the lawn. It will have the added benefit of conditioning you soil as well. If the birds peck around, the added calcium will be good for them. Slugs are known to carry all kinds of nasty things. Tape worm is only one of them. Slug pellets work well but they can do an awful lot of damage to, not only your birds, but birds in general. So, be very careful where you put them. Slug pellets are also very bad for dogs. I don't know about cats.
