slugs

Beer has worked wonderfully in my garden. Put it out in a shallow container they can access, they love it, get woozy, fall in and drown.
I could show you a photo of my first attempt, a dish full of many dead slugs of all sizes, but I’ll spare you from an utterly nauseating sight!

Apparently they are very partial to beer. Put some in a plant saucer overnight…….they do drown but they’re quite happy at the time!

Why do they even exist?? Horrible things! They’ve eaten dahlias, mecanopsis and hydrangeas in my garden this year. 🤬

They ate everything I planted last year, so much that I've not bothered since.
Horrid things!!!
Oh they really give me the heebie jeebies!

I havnt had slugs for over 10 years. I spray nematodes every March.

Sprinkle salt liberally over your path.
Works very well for me and stops them coming through the kitchen window and onto the draining board which I hate.

They come out after dark and particularly after rain.

I can’t even stand reading about the things, shudder!

Hate the rotten things and I feel pleased when I see our birds swoop down and eat them. No doubt they are tasty.
