What dose did you use on the children? :-)
I've only tried Growing Success Advanced Slug Pellets on slugs and snails
and they seemed
reasonably effective. It's difficult to tell because metaldehyde messes up
the slime system
quickly which gives you plenty of evidence. Ferric phosphate is claimed to
stop them feeding and
kills them later in a less spectacular manner.
