If you are into backyard poultry, or even birds, I don't recommend using Sluggo. A few years ago 3 of my large chickens pecked into an unopened bag of sluggo right beside me. They ate away for a few minutes before I noticed what they were doing. One died that day, the second died three days later and the third died three weeks later after suffering horribly. Comparing their size and how much they could have eaten in that short amount of time, I'm guessing a bird wouldn't have to eat much at all to die from it. If you read the directions on the bag, it does not say scatter liberally which is what most of us do when we are furious about snails and slugs eating our prized plants. It says to use it sparingly. It's just like spraying for one pest and wondering why you don't have any bees or butterflies in your garden any more. My husband is a beekeeper. I react strongly to bee stings so to keep me from weeding in front of his hives he placed clean carpet scraps in front of them to keep the weeds down. On the days when the neighbors have a pest truck spraying their property we find 400 - 700 dead bees on the carpet in the evening. We would never have noticed this if we had left the area in dirt and weeds. So my unscientific opinion is that colony collapse disorder is caused by several things including most people randomly spraying toxins to get rid of one thing but harming lots of other things in the process.
