Years back we had them at my dads cottage in Michigan...he called them “monsters” and when we visited, at night he would give my kids (5) each a shaker of salt. They went monster hunting and the next day showed dad the ones they killed...there would just be a pile of slime where once there was a monster...got 25 cents for each one they killed. They are in their 50’s and still remember “monster hunting”. Of course they also had flashlights.

Cute. Nice memory. Except for the slugs, of course.

Try iron phosphate bait. But a surefire remedy is the “mist” these uglies with a water/ammonia mix from an old Windex bottle.

Godspeed from an ardent gardener,

To #4: Or as the French would call them, “LUNCH”.

The Japanese would call them “Petit Sushi”

Michael Moore would call them, “My bedbugs”.

Because it was funny and then you hurled, or because it was gross and then you hurled?

The U.K. is a member of the E.U., so the slugs didn’t necessarily have far to go.
