What is DE? I meant to ask earlier...
I don't know if this has been suggested yet but beer baits are very effective, they love fermenting beer and crawl into a happy death.Originally Posted by nurseangel
OMG! That's it...the slugs have to go.
The slugs and I got off to a bad start in Puerto Rico. There were these areas that were filled with water that we were told was poisonous. We kids all believed the slugs came from there and were poison, as well. And they were huge; much bigger than the ones we have here. I actually feel sorry for them. I don't like killing anything. Maybe it will turn cold soon and they will just go away.Originally Posted by Momto3boys
Am I the only weirdo who thinks all the slugs are cool???
I would LOVE it if you would take pics of them
I wouldn't kill them but try to set up a barrier of some sort so they wont cross it.
The most effective way to beer trap them is to dig holes deep enough to place cups with one inch of rim above ground level, and fill 1/4 to 1/2 with a potent, yeasty . They love the smell of fermenting beer, and crawl into a happy, delirious death by beerOriginally Posted by Winchester
OMGosh, I hate slugs! Ugly, ugly creatures! They just give me the creeps.
I'll put out saucers of beer in amongst our hosta plants because the slugs love hosta so much. As cheylink said, they'll go for the beer and drown.
Ok, I've got the creeps now. Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew! (Do we have an "That's just creepy!" icon??)
I know what you mean...I can't believe one came in my house and I thought he was a leaf!Originally Posted by Winchester
Today, when my GF and I were out checking pumpkins, I turned several pumpkins over.....and found slugs. Ew! (I didn't buy those pumpkins, even though I could scrape them along the ground and get rid of the slugs. It's just the idea that slugs were there.)
