Getting rid of slugs

[janezee]

Lots of discussion in various forums lead me to believe that some folks skip some sub-forums, and don't see answers about this uggy problem.

The following article is the best I've read in 20 years of living here.

Got Slugs? Get solutions that actually work (not the same old misinformation)

The complete slime on slugs. Actually, for snails, too.

One thing that no one seems to mention is killing the eggs when you find them. The eggs look like little white pearls, larger than a grain of coarse sand, around the size of bb's, and they make a very satisfying 'pop' when you smoosh them. They're usually in bunches of 20-80, if I'm finding them all. They grow in the grass that is so very green on the sides of my raised beds. (Wish the lawn looked so good!)

I still like the bamboo skewer better than the scissors. The green guts gushing out gives me bad dreams.
And the skewers just stay in the ground all over the garden, handier than keeping scissors on me at all times.

Happy hunting!
