Thanks!
Gosh, I hate those slimy things!
Any idea where they congregate there?

Where the slugs hang out at my house? Mostly under the plantings I guess. I’ve got hosta and ferns and they look their best when we’ve had a lot of rain, but that boosts the slugs - so when I see early signs of their damage I sprinkle the bait and that is good for a month, more if there’s not a lot of rain.

And when it’s really been wet, they’ll hang out in the vegetable garden at get the tomatoes - but they love that yeast best of all - why beer traps work. Personally, I’d much rather they die quietly where I can’t see them, and enrich the soil, than pour them out of a beer-y saucer.
