I got some and it's kept the beasties off my row of cut and come again, so far. The cat's not bothered with it and the kids have been warned not to touch. It's completely transparent stuff. I should add that I put organic slug pellets round my baby beans which were just showing when we left - they've all been eaten - every one Evil or Very Mad

They're supposed to list any nasty ingredients in the safety data sheet, I think.

(just select other products to find it)

As they don't, either it doesn't have any or they're breaking the law or I'm wrong Rolling Eyes

I don't think organic gardening catalogue would sell it & say specifically on their website that it's harmless to children & animals if they hadn't checked it out though.

Looby - I think slug pellets are designed to attract slugs ... maybe you should try putting them around something you don't mind the slugs eating Laughing
