Thanks in advance I heard getting them drunk, so you can take advantage of them really works. :-p Seriously, I was told placing small plates of beer out will draw them to it. They will drink and drink and be unable to get out and drown. Just have to make sure you clean out the bowls regularly, so the dead ones don't tip off the new ones of the trap. hth, tom **************** http://www.Intertainia.com *********** Our Latest site: http://www.MedicalJobList.com ************************************************** ***** |

Yes, slugs like beer, but apparently, they also like dead slugs, so just leave the dead slugs in the dish.

Commerically available products, i.e., Ortho's Slug Bait (pellet or flake
form) works for me. If you have outdoor pets, you might want to sprinkle them around the affected plants when the pets are not around. Follow directions on the box when using.

Either "Sluggo" or "Worryfree" slug and snail works the best for me. It is
environmentally safe and safe for pets and birds. And it REALLY WORKS. " Fisherman" wrote in message news Our vegetable garden now has both slugs and snails (brought in on some plants) Any suggestions on how to get rid of them? Thanks in advance |
