I was rather fascinated by the TV program on slugs recently. some
university bods spent hours every day slug hunting in a confined are,
they found thousands over the "season". Next year, very much to their
surprise they found even more. The answer seems to be live with them.

Were they nematoding? The nematodes do work but they do take time and on
balance, we've probably found the vine weevil cures more effective than the
slugs. And a lot must depend on the area one is dealing with and so forth.
