Hi,
A couple of days ago I bought some slug/snail baits (no beer baits,
using
another substance). These are not supposed to harm wildlife other
than slugs &
snails. Unfortunately, I've had 2 drowned mice in the
baits - I don't want to
hurt mice in the garden.
Would this happen if I used beer rather than false bait? Is there any
way I can
avoid it happening?

Erm not unless you install a lifeguard (My cat would volunteer)

What is this "other substance" that you are using?
Whatever it is reduce the depth of it, 3/4 inch is enough to drown slugs and
not mice.

It's more likely to happen with beer 'cos they get inn - inee - inea -
drunk on the incohol.
Put a stick in the pot so the meeces can climb out again.

What is this magical stuff that drowns mice? I want lots of it, wonder if it
will drown rats as well, might just get some Peas and Sweetcorn if it works.
