I usually put out tuna cans with beer for the slugs.
Remember I really praised molasses to kill slugs and other soft belly critters? Well it doesn’t kill little black, beattle like critters, with red and yellow spots. All of a sudden, overnight, my squash all died. I went out the next
day to pick more squash...nothing, nada. Not a squash baby in sight, just dead vines. When I pulled up the roots along came these tiny “pretty looking” beatles, and they run deep. I dug down about 8 or 9 inches and those things were still running around. I’m taking some to our trusty
feed store fellow and see what he suggests. We’re discovering more creatures. Gardening is interesting.
