Boy did the slugs eat this stuff up! I put a few pellets in front of a slug by my front door one night and watched him go to TOWN on it like a fat kid with a chocolate cake! Did I say fat kid? okay... I meant me. Me with a chocolate cake. Mmmmm cake. What were we talking about again? RIGHT. SLUG KILLER. It almost works TOO good... I had a real problem after letting them go unchecked for about 12 years. I could go out after dark on any given night and there would be dozens on the siding, foundation and walkway. I did a combo of hand picking for several days (go out after dusk with rubber gloves and a ziplock bag and just collect all the slugs, seal em up and throw em in the trash) and then spread this stuff around their hidey holes where I know they sleep in the day (the crack between the walkway and the stairs and the stairs and hollow cement stoop, along flower bed edgers, the waterfall/pond, the woodpile, ect). I barely saw any slugs for several months after putting this out! I think I saw one lone slug on two occasions in the weeks to follow. But BEWARE. I messed with the ecosystem. The delicate balance of nature. And you know what happened? Mushrooms EXPLODED on my properrty. because slugs eat decaying matter and they LOVE a good mushroom feast. and I figured out that that's why I HAD so many slugs. Because apparently I have mushrooms out the wazoo! And fearful for my dogs health (I have the kind of mushrooms that sent Alice on her trippy ride to wonderland. My friend's dog died from eating one) I had now created a new chore. I had to walk around my half acre back yard and collect the bucket of mushrooms that sprouted overnight every single day. So as the slugs started to come back a little, I let them. I don't need to be slug free, I just don't want to worry about where I step when I run out to my car barefoot for my phone charger after dark, lest I get a slimy surprise underfoot!! Therefore I will certainly continue to use this product to control the population around the high traffic areas of the property and around the perimeter of my house!
