[Closed] Slugs all over, what the hell?!

coffeeking · 2011-05-12T00:42:51Z

When we first moved in to our house there were a few slugs on the walls outside, not really an issue so I ignored it. Over winter I found one scooting about the kitchen floor. Put it back outside and thought nthing of it. Came home today and found [i]literally[/i] 36 slugs climbing the walls outside like some sort of slug pilgrimage. We don't have bushes up against the walls, we have pebbles and paving all round the house, and all of the neighbours houses are slug free. What the hell is going on?! Any ideas on removing them without getting violent or throwing salt on them?? Why are they climbing my walls and why only my walls?!

I used to use slug pellets in the yard, I inherited a tub off my grandad (they last for ever). Kept the buggers under control.

When it finally ran out, I got another tub from ASDA, different brand but same basic packaging. The new stuff didn't make a fig of difference to the slug population, but I was picking dead birds out of the yard for the next three days. 😯
