Slug Pellets – containing the ingredient Ferric Phosphate

Firstly can i apologise for the blog that was published today regarding slug & snail prevention, which might have confused are members. I wanted to clarify the use of slug pellets. Slug pellets that contain the ingredient FERRIC PHOSPHATE are safe to use on our allotments they are also blue in colour & are being sold at garden centres & stores.

Slug pellets containing the ingredient METALDEHYDE that you might have in your sheds & greenhouses now are completely band from use & sale.

Kind Regards Mark Burton (Allotment Secretary)
