We have used diomataceous earth, available at your local garden supply store, to keep the little critters out.<br /><br />We have also had very good luck with beer slug traps, so I would not write that off.<br /><br />Just thought you'd like to know.<br /><br />Bill:www.wildramblings.comBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09528507008814120430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859873319068539701.post-58495475345636592182010-06-06T07:34:50.896-04:002010-06-06T07:34:50.896-04:00I get some slug damage in a shady spot in the yard...I get some slug damage in a shady spot in the yard. Louis Riotte suggested spreading wood ashes from the fireplace around the areas where slugs are a problem. I did that this winter on the North side of the house and I've had no problems this year.

They're eating good this time of year with all the rain and humidity.Tom - 7th Street Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416233066465228351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859873319068539701.post-43613479099618247082010-06-02T21:45:52.298-04:002010-06-02T21:45:52.298-04:00My slugs scoff at coffee grounds and pulverized eg...My slugs scoff at coffee grounds and pulverized eggshells. And they sure consume a lot of Slugg-o. <br /><br />I loathe slugs, probably because of bad barefoot squishing events when I was a kid in Maryland. Uuugh. Makes my skin crawl, remembering hosing slug guts out from between my toes.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03932975112078606231noreply@blogger.com
