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?

ajtgirl: Beer in a small container partially buried. if the opening is small enough then pets shouldn't go near it and the rain shouldn't dilute it that quickly, place cap back on after a few days and throw in rubbish bin.
Other method is a torch and catch them at night.

ajtgirl: I don't think the slugs care, they just go for the malt or hops not sure which but it really works. My problem is I usually drink all the beer thats why I've got a torch LOL
