[QUOTE="Simon Chiles, post: 2352748, member: 1233"] I suspect your plight is, as always, down to a combination of factors. Firstly you're probably not far enough into the game for the beneficials to have built up, combined with growing rape and a mild wet winter it's going to test the system to its limits. I've had great results with Sluxx and have effectively been weaned off generally using slug pellets, although not completely. I used them ( Sluxx ) because I felt they were better for the environment ( in particular water courses ) and used them at the first signs of damage, I think being proactive helps to reduce the problem. Whether or not Sluxx is better for beetles than metaldehyde I couldn't prove, my feeling is that it is, maybe it's just because we got on top of the situation quickly and didn't need much anyway. Of course it could also be just down to the weather at the time. Also importantly at the beginning for me we only had the original JD closing wheels that were completely useless at slot closing so we used to roll everything with the ring rolls with the levelling board down, sometimes twice, and since then we've sort of got into the habit which undoubtedly helps the situation.
