Hi John, Do yourself a favor & get some stuff called "Thats It" for
slugs & snails. It is not the run of
the mill type pellets but granules so pets won't eat it. I use it in
the greenhouse & cover it when I
water.
I must tell you that there was a discussion about coffee extract & I
started saving my used coffee
dregs. I had a huge bowl full out side & it got rained on. I covered
it with a plastic bag & just
yesterday lifted it up. Found 4 slugs on the plastic bag covered in
the red/brown coffee juice!!
So my experiment is kaput!
Cheers Wendy

I've read about a study in Hawaii showing a 1% solution of caffeine
controlling slugs and snails in orchids in this newsgroup. We've had
some pretty wet weather in Virginia lately and they're beginning to
get bothersome. I picked up some No Doz tablets which are 200 mg of
caffeine. Has anyone been trying the caffeine solution? How would I
make a 1%
solution
from 200 mg tablets?
Thanks,
John Whistler

Slugs are tough as nails I've tried everything pellets, granules, very
expensive spray for slugs, and even including beer, gosh all those tiny
voices singing how dry I am.
The only thing I've found that works for sure is a hammer or a jar of salt
to drop them in.
SPLAT oh what fun sound that is
