Last year about mid July I noticed things "moving" in my hosta beds. I had
an incredible build up of toads and little slug damage so discontinued using
metaldehyde. So far this year I haven't seen that many toads. Does anyone
know the lifecycle of toads, overwintering in zone 4, etc.? Will toads be
killed by metaldehyde?
