Have any ideas how to nail the fat, gross, disgusting slugs? Honestly,
I could vomit just looking at those suckers, never mind touching them.
YUUUKKK.

sink a cottage cheese container (or similar) into the soil. Fill the
container half full of stale beer.. Slugs will go after the beer and drown.
Dispose of container when appropriate and replace with another. It works.

Thanks but we tried that. All that ended up with even slower moving
slugs and made the garden stink like a tavern. We even bought these
really pretty pottery containers specifically for the this purpose, it
just didn't make a difference. We've tried eggshells...didn't work.
My husband uses Sluggo, but still, unless you live in this neck of the
US, slugs, well, it's their territory. I''m the one who doesn't belong
here :-)

If you have raised beds run copper tape along the tops or run copper
wiring over the tops of the beds. The slugs will electructe themselves
on the wires. Seriously, it does work.

I believe you, you know why? We've done that too. I need to get to a
place of "slug acceptance" :-) My husband has taped the entire
circumference of the beds and they still manage to spread their
slimminess. In the summertime, I'll open the glass slider to our back
yard....and they have left their stickiness all up and down the screen
door. Makes me cringe.

There are SO many ways of dealing with slugs, many of which don't involve
nasty chemicals. Got a library nearby? Go read some gardening books.

They make me ill. Perhaps they'd be good served in garlic.
Ugh. Anyway, my father would dose them with salt, they melt.
Or, surround your vegetable beds with diatemaceous (sp) earth,
they seemingly can't crawl across that, cuts them up. Then, people
bury cups of beer up to the brim, the slugs crawl in to get the beer
and drown. I'd go for the last one, myself.

My husband _really_ has tried everything (natural) but they're just
here and I have to ignore them or move. I'd rather move.

Years ago, when we first tried the beer thing, I remember going to the
store very early in the morning and buying the cheapest beer I could
find. I wasn't about to buy some microbrews for them :-) So I was
standing in line to pay at about 7am and I felt so TRASHY! 7am, cheap
beer in hand. Of course I explained to the cashier it was for the
slugs ;-)

(laughing) Sure, lady, whatever. Really freak them out and buy
baby stuff at the same time, they will think you're trash. Smoking
a cigarette, swilling a cheap beer and changing a diaper.

Those slugs indicate that the land you live on is not polluted... it's
a good thing.

You could adopt a pet skunk. The love slugs. Mice, too. It's not as crazy an
idea as it seems. Go talk to a local veterinarian about it.

I'd rather move? Here's one who did! Me. I couldn't believe how big they
were. DH did everything he could to rid himselves of these monsters. He
was a gardener at the time - yes, trying to grow veggies with not a bit of
sun all one month of June. (We got some decent greens, tho.) Clouded over
and slugs running rampant. Looking back it still is not funny.

You have to find a way to get skunks interested in prowling your place at
night. Put up signs, maybe?

Detour: When I was in college, there was a nice old lady whose job it was to
check students' meal cards as they entered the dining hall. One day, my crew
and I arrived for dinner and as we opened the door to the dining hall, a dog
ran out. The lady said something about keeping dogs out of the place, and
wondered why the "No Dogs" sign on the door wasn't working. We were
massively stoned, and my roommate suggested that if she'd move the sign
lower on the door, it would be easier for the dogs to see. Of course, we
almost died laughing, but the next day, the sign was down near the bottom of
the door.

The problem with sluggo is it can be absorbed through the skin of toads
and frogs killing them. Both toads and frogs are beneficial critters in
your garden. Sluggo can also be toxic to birds. Personally, I try
encourage the beneficial critters while discouraging the harmful ones. I
tend to favour non-toxic control measures for all garden pests. Slugs
are rather dumb critters since they leave a trail making it easy to find
them. I've had success with the copper wire/tape method and the coffee
grounds. I think that attracting insect eating birds into the garden
helps as well. Good luck with finding some type of control

Here's a website that gives other ideas for slug control
http://eartheasy.com/grow_nat_slug_cntrl.htm
and another
http://momo.essortment.com/slugscontrol_oaj.htm

Last year the garden and near the house was overrun with box elder bugs.
While these bugs are not destructive, if they get in your house they
make a real mess with their droppings. An easy way to rid the garden
took persistence but it worked. I used a simple spray of water, a small
squirt of dish soap, and a couple of drops of vegetable oil. This
killed them almost instantly! Perhaps it would work on your slugs? It
might be worth a try since it costs next to nothing.

Yes but to successfully pull this off, you *must* dress appropriately.
A tank top with no bra, stretch pants, and pink fuzzy slippers should do
it. For added effect roll your hair up in curlers, doll on heavy
make-up, and maybe a couple of those removable but realistic tatoos.
Don't forget to talk very loud when you ask for a lottery ticket as
well. This might be better done in a store where you don't normally shop

And that would end up being the day that I run into a client :-) With
the cheap beer in my hand. Both you and Nancy gave me a much needed
