Re: suicidal slugs

hum.. can you mail snakes?  got plenty, willing to share....
 
And speaking of wildlife, l thought we killed off most of the ground bees last
year. (DH went a bit overboard).  But.... they are back.  Must have gone to
get help cause now there are zillions of them.  Not sure what I am going to do
about that cause there are way too many.  Glad they are not aggressive.

 I have rings of copper mesh, sluggo, deadline and even tried the trays of

 This is insane.  The slugs are crawling over the dead bodies of other slugs
