Hmpf.

Probably is slugs. They can do an incredible amount of damage for their

I've been watching my slugs fairly closely recently ;-(
An individual slug doesn't do that much damage in a night. It's the
sheer numbers that do the damage - you're not usually talking about the
odd slug, you're talking about dozens.
