Slugathon

[primsong]

I get to go out and be the Slug-Bait Fairy again today, tossing it about like sparkle-dust that magically eliminates slimy little daffodil-and-tulip-leaf-eaters.

How do you deal with slugs and snails where you are?

I used to try the 'toss them in the street to be run over' version when I was in CA, but I had a *lot* smaller yard and a main road nearby to crunch them before they could make it back to the sidewalk. I've considered those little slug-barns you fill with beer to drown them in, but the idea of having to dispose of little gloopy containers of beer-marinated dead slugs is enough to put me off my feed for quite a while. Bait makes me feel like an industrial criminal, waving chemicals over the earth, but hey...it works....

Back to slug-bait dust... *toss toss toss*

It never occurred to me that they might then become a 'coon gourmet treat - of course, our coons are so fat and sleek and pampered with all the suburban cat-food and such that they get I don't know if they could be bothered to waddle over and empty them for me. :-D
