No supply problems with Sluxx ferric phosphate. IMO the trade are running stocks of metaldehyde down so they are not left with product they have to pay to dispose of, though we have a while before it has to be out of the distributors. I think that it's a case of ringing around various suppliers. FMP?

Gusto 3 MAPP 14308 is listed as "no longer marketed but still approved for use" until 31/3/2022. So is TDS Major (De Sangosse) and Trigger 3 (Certis). Normally, it can't be sold within 12 months of revocation then it's just down to clearing on farm stocks.
 
Can anyone buy any other brand of metaldehyde slug pellets other than gusto, are these the only ones available?
