Are Slugs Killed With Dish Soap Poisonous To Birds

Question From: h. gingras - MASSACHUSETTS
Q: Hi Nancy, Ants were chomping on a retaining wall on the downhill side of our house - I saw wood crumbs. I put out Amdro ant poison, and then it rained, unexpectedly. The next day LOTS of slugs were on the retaining wall, at the bottom and near cracks. I picked them up with a plastic fork and put them in a bucket with dish lotion, then threw away in brush. Would these slugs be poisonous to birds?

A:

Not to worry if you used dish soap. Chances are the birds will not find them good eats. Best and Happy Yardening, Nancy
