Re: suicidal slugs

I've always been reluctant to put small plants directly in the ground for that and other reasons. I don't expect you to dig them up though. All I can say is: Vigilance! Keep applying the sluggo and they should eventually decrease in number. 
Nasty little things.

Ok- the snails and slugs this year are like no other.  I have used
everything and still I'm loosing small plants- even tomato plants this
year.  I have rings of copper mesh, sluggo, deadline and even tried the
trays of beer.  This is insane.  The slugs are crawling over the dead
bodies of other slugs to get to the plants.  What to do???
