The easiest way to keep pests under control is to let their predators do it for you. I’ve got a team of lizards patrolling both front and back gardens, cleaning up snails, slugs and other pests. All they seem to want in return is a steady water supply and a few rocks to bask on and live under.
Here’s one of the team in action:
Who needs snail pellets?
I keep telling people the same thing. The slug pellets kill the natral predators as quickly as they do the slugs. This does more harm than good.
Keep it up.
I wish I could get cat pellets, though. Someone in my neighbourhood has a cat that they don’t keep in their yard, and it keeps coming over and killing lizards and birds. I wish I could find a way to keep it out!
