Default A good way to catch slugs.

My daughter put a dish containing dried cat food on to her garden path,
about half and hour later she looked out and saw that the dish was
covered in slugs of all sizes, not only were they enjoying the cat food
but there were at least another 20 advancing up the path towards the
dish, how do they communicate or is it just the smell of the cat food
that attracts them.

Just the smell I think. As far as I know they're not social beings.


Now all we need is a way to convince cats to eat slugs full of cat food. I
reckon you're onto a winner here.

No way, our stray Tom that lives under our BBQ won't touch his biscuits if a
slug has been near them, we have to throw them away.
