slugs continued


	Gunnar,

	Regarding toads eating your slugs - yes, they do devour slugs and so
	do garter snakes, moles (NO! - they cause more problems than the
	slugs & snails in my garden),shrews (I am assuming they are not good
	for the garden but don't know), ducks & goslings, and turtles (which
	can cause damage in the garden).  Of course there is the decollate
	snail (Rumina decollata) which happily plays the cannibal. No thanks.

	Also, regarding BEER & slugs - ".....it was concluded that the fermen-
	tation of the lager yeasts, and NOT the alcoholic content, lured the
	slugs to the beer bait.  The slugs preferred a near beer, Kingsbury
	Malt Beverage over Michelob and Budweiser, the runners-up."
