Slug and Snail Poison

From: Doug Burdic <dburdic at presys.com> on 1997.06.12 at 16:38:34(830) Hi, Most folks already know this fact about slug bait, but I thought it was worth repeating here just in case some of you have pets that you'd like to watch reach old age. All forms of commercial slug & snail bait that I'm aware of contain Methaldehyde as the lethal ingredient. For some reason, mammals of all kinds consider this a delicacy....only once. Each year hundreds, maybe thousands of cats and dogs are unintentionally poisoned by their owners who are dealing with a slug/snail infestation. It is not a pleasant way for an animal to die, so I urge precaution when using it to avoid alot of personal grief down the line. Take care, Doug
