[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7295774, member: 54866"] People who believe slug damage is a myth are more than welcome to view my extensive collection of crop photos where the evidence is plain for all to see. If I had a quid for every time I saw slug damage in a crop, I'd be minted. It is often random according to the crop, soil type, date and season with no discernible pattern. In 2012 I spent the autumn chasing the fudging things out of cereal and grass crops alike, often well into October/November. It can be a nightmare. I had one field I had to pellet 3 times and the third time I used draza (now banned) which finally sorted the issue and the crop came away ok. A cold wet autumn and the odds begin to stack against you. I have not ever claimed deter did anything for slugs, in my experience they will hollow that seed as soon as anything else. In fact, undressed seed [I]may[/I] be preferable because it springs out of the ground faster. [/QUOTE]
