Bloody Immigrants

Can't believe someone would report but not read a very entertaining thread I hope you stay Pompa.

'ooray! Cari to the rescue.

At last common sense prevails

FFS!

I agree Tanith that is pushing credulity too far.

I prefer Lager to other methods mentioned drown the blighters after intoxicating them!

My friend suggested I cut them in half, which is what she does. Just ended up with a pair of scissors covered in so much slime I couldn't clean off! And the inside of slugs is infinitely more revolting than the outside [sicky emoticon needed].

Don't think I'll be trying that any time soon then dramtessa

You're a much needed breath of fresh air Cari

Vim or Ajax. And a nail brush.

That's to get tte slime off your hands.

Never mind the 'racism' (really someone complained ???) but, as much as I hate slugs in my garden- using salt or cutting them in half is just sick, truly.

When I went out the other morning the pavement was covered with them -but they were black! Lots of them had been trodden on and squashed-uggh.

Well it ,looks as if Gransnet HQ has some sense.

Wouldn't it be lovely if the complainer had the guts to identify themselves.

I favour the beer method ....at least they die happy!

Salt.

Oh yeah. Likely.

Something repulsive about slugs, shudder, especially the huge yellowy ones.

We need more hedgehogs!

We have just returned home tonight from 'foreign parts' and done the usual garden inspection and am pleased that all looks pretty good.
Haven't yet seen any of these new varieties of slugs or many at all in our new garden, thank goodness. I used to put salt on them I'm afraid but that is as nothing to what Dh does. He wears his big wellies and treads on them in such a way that their brains blow out through their bottoms!
I just wonder if he has it the right way round sometimes as it is a bit hard to tell.

Can I encourage you to maintain the Irish attack methods GandTea and use Guinness to deal with your vile visitors. They just love the black stuff, but can't hold their drink. Die in their droves!

OMG I have just realised I used the b work.

So....report me ?

I've only just caught up with this and I think its a really good thread nice to have something that's fun but informative but what I would like to know is what's wrong with my garden- not good enough for them eh!! But I've got is the British Snail Navy (they like living in the water butt) - perhaps they are massing ready to assault the Spanish Armada of snails.

I haven't yet got the Spanish variety, but there are plenty of black ones in my garden. Sometimes, one (or more) manage to get under a very close-fitting door and leave slug trails on the doormat in my kitchen but I can never find them! Tried putting copper tape along the threshold but this didn't serve as the deterrent it was claimed to be.

I should have said slugs shouldn't I? (Sun on head too much on golf course yesterday)
