Karen has noticed a profusion of tiny slugs appearing to come from beneath
a
small area of timber decking and recalled having to deal with a large
number
of gi-normous ones during the end of last summer.
Can anyone give some advice as to how to deal with the problem?


As the slugs are underneath the decking, I'd sprinkle slug pellets between
the timber slats. The pellets are under the deck so can't be eaten by other
animals, and the slugs will die underneath the decking and so won't cause
problems for birds.
