    Is it lawful to put a sign in garden that says "garden has been treated and may harm animals"/ should it have the word notice or warning or anything specific

    What has it been treated with? No reason to freak out people if the product is relatively harmless. Are you worried about people's pets coming into the garden?

    Isn't it lawful to do anything that isn't unlawful? Unless you erect a sign that's so big that it contravenes planning legislation, I can't see any problem with such a sign as you are proposing.

    Aren't slug pellets some funny colour like blue which most mammals and birds do not associate with food or are you worried about some local colour-blind pets?

    Once you're not contravening planning or other local bye-laws you're not doing anything illegal.
    If your concern is not killing all the animals in the neighbourhood, you may want to take more measures to keep animals out and/or more actively notify your neighbours that you will be using toxic chemicals (?) in your garden.
    I'm thinking of danger to children as well as animals - neither of whom are fantastic at reading.
