Re: suicidal slugs

That's what you need, garter snakes. Starlings, the dirty birds, do a pretty good job too.

Wow, that's a little disturbing. Are your plants in the ground or in pots? I only had one container of tomato seedlings they attacked and I moved it away from that area (first checking to make sure none were hiding under the rim of the pot) and they've been fine since then. I don't know what else to tell 
you. Where are the toads when you need them?

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???
