find these do just as well as autumn sowings and you don,t have to protect them from mice! Hello Hedgehog, If you have trouble with mice, you can protect your crops with wire mesh. Putting autumn-sown seeds in a metal cage works well, as long by Emma 2

drunk squirrels?
- sorry ! Pam x Made me smile too, at a guess I'd say it's probably a drunk hedgehog scratching around and eating the slugs in the traps. Could be foxes?. They can climb over six foot fencing even if they can't dig through chuck wire. by Mall

strange scrapy-type holes in lawn.
For the last few weeks, we've been waking up to find shallow scrapes/holes appearing in our front lawn.     It just happens at night.   We were wondering what creature would be doing this - foxes?  hedgehogs?        We do have urban foxes so I by chickenlady

slug pellets help
and that is unlikely Same goes for hedgehogs. And the company are right- a dead slug is not as appetising a live one But there are wildlife friendly pellets you can buy as an alternative to the the blue ones that do what they say on the tin cheers for that by matmats123

Talkback: Slugs and snails
attract a resident hedgehog (I am awaiting delivery of a hedgehog lodge) to help in the battle against the blighters and to help me keep what sanity I have left!! An American friend uses a solution of ammonia and water and 'hits slugs like a squirt gun'. I by ginjosie

Will anything benefit from these old pipes?
to use them but haven't a clue really.    Mice might like them, especially if you put some logs around them. Hedgehogs might like them too - I agree with Alina, maybe put logs around them and leave piles of leaves nearby in autumn?  If animals think by Robot

Grass snake in the pond HELP !
to hear fledglings squeeking away at our feeders and the awe of a sparrowhawk catching lunch. The only sadness is no hedgehog for 2 years .We have just about everything else visiting us, we are so lucky! This thread reminds me of the lovely poem written by Bored with Bindweed !

slug pellets
Any good deals on slug pellets at the moment I need them by the bucket load!!! Do you have a Wilkinson's near you-got a carton for a £1 last week Please don't use them.  Birds and hedgehogs will eat the corpses and then die.  Try barriers like sand by weejenny
