You have got guts J !!! Probably all over your hands or did you wear gloves on your slug hunts? It makes my flesh crawl to think that you counted your victims. lol I bet your hostas looked great though. Not much of a problem down here this year with the slimy things

Thought I would see what's happening on the forum and your post was right up front.

It's almost time to put everything to bed for the winter. No frost here yet and I wish it would so I could get fall cleanup done.Take care friend.

hi connie

all I have ever done before was tossed around Sluggo ,,,,and never go out at night to look....lol

hostas were disappearing before my eyes,,,so this year I investigated the garden after dark....some hostas had 20+ slugs having their merry way with my hostas....

sooo,,,,I declared war on them....it's MORE FUN than trying to get rid of nematodes....that's for sure...

and I HAVEN"T touched any of them yet....although my brother-in-law said he would like some for bait when he goes fishing...ewwww...

Since there's no hand to slime contact going on, what caliber ammo are you using in your slug war?

worst year for slugs in decades - on the brighter side I didn't have to water hardly ever

hh

lol,...hh...a lot less watering here also...

Kathy...I just use a small squirt bottle...I bend right down so I can look them in the eye,,,,and whammo....couple of squirts...

I use a mix of either ammonia or vinegar to 80-85% water,,,,

I know, ken,,,,,that is overkill but I don't want to try to kill them twice....I sleep better this way...
