Small disadvantage: the slime trail of so "treated" snails and their carcasses are clearly visible. One has but by a visual performance review.
Here is superior politically correct Ferramol, since there the worm hole up to die kindly.
However, the critters apparently get used to quite quickly to the biological stuff and leave it.
Moreover Ferramol is not rain resistant and not so productive. I would be the organic variant indeed also been significantly better,
but if it does not work one has to necessarily resort to other means. As our native hedgehog not eat the red slugs, the gardener is therefore no choice but to slug pellets if he does not want to watch helplessly as the snail its beautiful plants nibble.
Ferramol and Compo should one lt. To manufacturers each max. 4x apply in the year, so also here no point advantage for the "Bio" product.
Therefore, the right time is the most important because the screws place dozens of eggs per clutch, can be several hundred theoretically from 10 snails in a short time. Therefore, the slug pellets shortly after the end of the frost period apply before the current generation snails can lay their eggs. Otherwise you will always have a short time to rest again the descendants mischief.
Keyword "danger to pets":
In our garden to several neighboring cats give round the clock the jack in hand, I do not know anything about
that would of ever gone to the lenses. So no immediate source of danger to pets. If you do not pile of lenses
placed, also happens Fiffi nothing because a dog had been eating a proper amount so that he takes damage.
If only a little, scattered flat and wide can a dog normally this critical amount does not even get together,
if he ever noticed the lenses.
Tip:
always spread over a wide area, is scattered on to a small area or only at certain points, the lenses are quickly vollgeschleimt
from animals which have been nibbled. And at the slime-covered lenses will of course no further screw turn more.
In no deploy in piles, thereby would have only 50-100 lenses focused on a spot. For each screw, but a sufficient
single lens, and a hundred worm never come together in one place. In addition, snails are not so good on foot, so you should meet them and go to the surface or spread on their shadowy hiding along.
The often recommended coffee grounds as a worm-neurotoxin is actually a tip for the ton. I have thus yet imposes no single screw.
Beer Filled traps have also completely failed me, was more so that the worm after eating still approved a beer
and have then hidden again.
Still a very stupid idea: the slime snip to pieces and let lie: that attracts even more fellows from the vicinity of, the beasts are in fact cannibals and eat the carcasses of their kind when these parts lying around openly. The attractant of the worm bodies is almost even more than that of the lenses.
Very important:
Avoid spreading when rain is announced, the water enters the effect of the agent is practically lifted because the worm
so fluid loss can again be compensated by the lenses and thereby survive.
It is ideal in the evening when the rain is pulled to scatter. Then the snails come out for sure because it's nice and wet and dark.
