Slug eats slug

Also provides good bait, squash one early then you can squash the
feeders as well a bit later.
Yes - I had thought of that this morning: there was another on the now three
dead slugs tucking in. (It had rained in the night and must have washed all of
the salt away -so he was quite happy to eat his unsalted ex-mates).
I thought if I leave the little pile, it will attract fresh ones. Salt the new
one - wash off the salt next morning - and this show could run and run !!
Another point is that some of them are really huge: well about five inches,
light brown in colour and red "fins" on the edge of the body with the
underside.
I had not particularly noticed such ones before - loads of 2" ones- often
black.
I then wondered: how would a different species of slug get in to my garden: it
is totally fenced/walled.
