Hi Stan,

I appreciate you  trying this out because I am at war with the little 
buggers. One thing that you might want to consider is that there are 
a slew of slugs out there less than 1/2 inch long and even the ones 
that are longer can crawl along the tubing without making ground 
contact at all. Sounds like the idea might need a little tweaking 
here and there :-) 

Sincerely,
