LanscapExperts Tip of the Week, March 11

Keep Slug-Bait away from pets and birds. Turn an empty plastic water bottle into a safe container by cutting off the bottle's neck and shoulders and inserting them into the end of the bottle backwards. Use waterproof tape to hold this in place, and pour in some bait. Tuck under slug-prone plants such as Hosta where the slugs can crawl into the trap.
