Re: Spiders, slugs or snails

I can only offer advice on the slugs and snails. There is a hard to find
product called Sluggo. Completely organic and safe for pets. It is an iron
based chemical of some kind. It is not cheap, but I feel it is worth the
price. I use it and it seems to work as well as any other bait I have tried.
