Default Slug alert..

Last winter was no real winter and this summer is unusual
wet and monsoon-like means we have big brown slugs, slugs,
slugs up to 5"..
So how to get rid of these
invaders..?

P.S.: A ponder here gave me the tip to keep some big
crayfish and that I should feed them with slugs.. How do
you think about it..?



The beer will definitely do the trick. Just cut off the tops with a can
opener and bury up to the lips in the ground. Like a roach motel, they check
in, but they don't check out. Replace as needed.

The crawfish will work too. However, after they finish the slugs, what will
they eat next? Something to consider.
