Pest Alert: Now that the weather’s cooling down and we’ve had rain in lots of places, slugs and snails will come out of their hiding places to attack your garden. They particularly love soft growth on young vegies and flowers – emerging bulb shoots are particular favourites. A sprinkling of Blitzem or Baysol pellets will protect plants from these night time munchers. Don’t spread pellets too thickly (you don’t need many to do the job) and, if you have pets, put the pellets inside a pet-proof container, or use the Blitzem Granules that are less attractive to pets and are based mould-resistant dolomite chips. yates.co.nz/products/pest-control/snails-and-slugs/blitzem-snail-and-slug-granules/
