18. July 2006, 02:38:28 Subject: New Old Topic  Truth is I have never had so many slugs in my gardens When I wake up there are a few stupid ones just waiting for me to turn them into a pillar of salt But the big ones....the breeders...are hiding where I cannot see them I have cats at home and don't know how to kill the slugs without killing my cats Anyone have any suggestions? Rose: Neem won't work on this problem lol 18.

Other method is a torch and catch them at night. 18. July 2006, 02:48:07 Subject: Re: New Old Topic skipinnz: Wonderful tip I'll have to run out and buy some beer. it being dark now Wait....

My problem is I usually drink all the beer thats why I've got a torch LOL 18. July 2006, 14:57:57 Subject: Re: New Old Topic Modified by Rose (18.
