And I don't think it actually *melts* them either. I didn't read the article
and have no idea how it works. It might just be irritant and drive them
away. The idea of melting them made a better story than having Barney the
Bushsnail pack his bags and leave for Florida. Heck, everyone does that.

I don't recall anyone saying it works against all slugs and snails, just
Bush Snails. That's my experience, anyway.

chuckle You know I recall a thread like this some time back. Anyway
I
religiously saved my old coffee
grounds which I put in a large shallow pan. Being the sceptic that I am,
I
found 5 slugs, easy to do in my
garden, added some water & put a cover over them.
I forgot about this little experiment for about a week
& then lifted the lid & there they all were clinging to the lid.
They were all a red brown colour, alive & well!
Picture these little nasty bud chomping buggars on a caffeine high!!!
I use stuff called THATS IT & it works.
Cheers Wendy
