I find that using Sevin (either 5% or 10%) serves double duty. It kills the
cutworms and deters the slugs. Be very careful using the vinegar solution--I
nearly killed 4 hostas using a 6:1 solution. Some people use an ammonia
solution. Both of these require direct hits on the slugs, however.
The best slug bait available in my neck of the woods is Spectracide
Sluggit.Also, the paste is effective.
There is a British product that is even better. It is Bio something are
other. Perhaps it is now available in the states, but not in Indy.
