Slugs have no taste
I am feeding some of my unwelcome guests on Tesco Value bitter and lager, and they seem to like it. In the interests of science, I tried a sip of each. The former is vaguely reminiscient of Grotney's Gaslight, for those who are very ancient, but the latter is very like sex in a punt (to use the classic description). Fizzy and wet, and with a vague flavour that I would have been hard put to identify without knowing what the stuff was sold as. Still, at 25 pence a shot, it's clearly the Right Stuff - for slugs. Mainly garden slugs, with some field slugs - the large black and red slugs do not seem to be active yet. The latter are the ones that seriously annoy my wife (and me, when I tread on them with bare feet), but the former are pretty annoying, too. It was last year that triggered me into creating a dozen slug traps from old 2-litre fizzy drinks bottles (my daughters have low taste in such things, though much better in real drinks) and some spare roof tiles. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
