Snail bait - Safer ideas
Now that it's getting warmer outside and the gardening is just around the corner for many of us. I wanted to share some "Pet Safe" tips for getting rid of snails.The typical snail bait you find at the store is very deadly for dogs and they WILL eat it, if it is out. It can cause such symptoms as twitching, muscle tremors, seizures, excessive drooling, panting, fever, fast heart rate, respiratory failure, rigidity, and vomiting. If you think your dog has eaten snail bait take your dog to the vet as quickly as you can. So instead of buying the snail bait from the store.Try placing small containers of stale beer in the garden. Take a small container, fill with beer and bury up to the rim place them throughout the garden. The snails are attracted to the beer, fall in and drown. Or place a copper strip completely around the garden. It is said that slugs will not cross the copper. All the time keeping the furry friends safe.
