Flying Ferrets 0 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 My mum always use to salt them, thats just nasty! And sometimes she collects a whole bucket of them and run them over with boiling water. Theres really many where they live. I once caught one of my ferrets chewing on one but I didn't let her eat it.

will.f11 24 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 surround your plants in a line of coffee powder stuff (wet) it stops them from crossing the line. We stopped using poison when my dog managed to get a load of it. He had alot of surgery and is ok but it was touch and go. god knows what it would do to a fert Quote Link to post
