[b]Do you think we can do 101 ways of getting rid of slugs?[/b] - just because
1. Pick up and slam them between two bricks
2. (a pretty micarbe one) - collect loads and stick them in a blender then paint around the area that they are in with juice, its like vlad the impalier they don't like sensing death of their own kind.
3. Beer traps
4. Keep any areas free of places for them to hide.
Does number 2 really work?
5. A ring of salt
6. crushed egg shells, they wont cross them
7. balance them on a banger, light, run, Bang.....SPlat!
8. Ferrets. They love em! perticually fond of beer soaked ones. (they keeps cats out too for an added bonus!)
Tame hedgehogs.
There is no way I'm blending up slugs - so any more ideas on how to paint something on to stop slugs climbing walls?
anti vandal paint is made from slugs
really??
got you there 🙂 🙂
9. Copper pipe - they won't cross it
LOL @ jedi 8)
10. Napalm.
11. Laser death rays
12. Thermonuclear explosions.
All the above are still too good for them.
Greasystain - A RING of salt? Two flipping tons of salt, surely?
👿 @ jedi
13. My dog. (she's available for hire)
slug pellets?
SLightly different but for sanails.
They are all beginning to cluster for semi-hibernation. If you find where they are hiding there will probably be loads in one place. I moved a couple of paving slabs that were leaning against the fence and found about 60 snails all stuck to the back.
Now all splatteded against a tree just over the back fence. It is quite funny watching the birds trying to eat the slug remains from the side of a big oak tree when they have nothing to stand on. Black birds cannot hover
a good squirt of disc brake cleaner - gets a bit expensive but works a treat!
14. Spike them with a trowel
14a. then put them on the bird table just to be sure
15. Step on them with bare feet - its one my wife particularly likes especially in the middle of the night.
Bucket of salty water, torch and a set of chopsticks works for me, have a potter round the garden at night. get rid of the big ones so they cant breed.
A mate whose a professional gardener, reckons slug pellets are the only way to go, the 'eco' ones from 'the green gardener'
Leave you trainers outside, wait till the next day to go for a run, put trainers on, squelch...
beer traps, slops free from the local, then the birds/hedgehog eat them [u]and[/u] benefit from the beer too.
Put slug on drive. Stamp* on slug. Job done.
*When stamping on slug be sure to do this in a hopping motion, so as not to get slug entrails on your non-stamping shoe or trouser leg.
A Flymo. Does a lovely job of skinning them alive, depositing sloughed skin to the left and squidgy internals to the right.
Garlic, butter, frying pan.
Lets face it - they're just homeless snails.......
Nematode worms are absolutely brilliant (look up Nemaslug). However you don't get the staisfaction of personally killing the slimy little b*stards
slug sushi! 😯

My mother bought me a book with this exact same title last xmas....
Nooooooooooooooo!!
I shall have nightmares about slug sushi for evermore now!
What is seen cannot be unseen!
Ask them politely to leave?
Lets face it - they're just homeless snails.......
What did the slug say to the snail?
Big Issue...
slug sushi!
seeing as sushi is raw food, does this mean the slugs are alive? surely they can't be cooked as that would go against sushi etiquette!!!
101. Own them with a set of bombers
Bushwacked - i'm with you little sods are getting on my carpets somehow & short of waiting until 03.00 to pick up any I can find there seems little way of getting ride of them.
A trail of salt on floorboards or tiles but slimed slug is very difficult to get out of a carpet
Yeah - the slugs in our house hid inbetween the cracks in the bricks under the floorboards and only come out at night! SO can't put salt or pellets down as there is no where to put it.
