Slug breeding! YUK!

[dexterdoglancashire]

Just been out into the side garden (no veg in there - thank goodness!). There was one adult slug on the wall, and I reckon up to 100 babies climbing up the wall - REVOLTING! when do these things stop breeding, or do they just keep going all year?
I suppose they could crawl around the side of the house to my veg plots - what do you think? should I collect them all and move them "elsewhere"?

Where's my gross out smilie LJ please? Really don't want to imagine that. It's enough to have to think of mucus!!

Collect and remove them DDL, but you gotta take em a mile or two away, and carry on doing it for a long time every night for 2 weeks or so before you'll see any real improvement, or so I read on here somewhere! lol!

[dexterdoglancashire]

oh my! I was really hoping you wouldn't say that! having said that - I'm not going to start slug collecting in my PJs it's bedtime - going to get a few pairs of extra strong marigolds and will start tomorrow night - DDL

Don't bring them down my way DDL ! Think of the environment - using petrol and emissions just kill them, kill, kill, kill

[Earthbabe]

LOL Martini! It's an environmental dilemma.

Last year I collected the slugs and snails and put them in a bucket of water. They downed. Problem then was vile smell eminating from the bucket.....I asked my husband to empty the bucket for me. He was nearly sick...Yes part of me did have a smile on my face as I replied I didn't know it smelled that bad.

A slug can have 90 000 grandchildren!!! I think we have enough, Kill them.

No! The secateurs! One snip and they pop!!

Gross! I just can't bring myself to do that. Sorry but it is the expensive and bird/hedgehog safe slug pellets for me.

LOL at this thread again.

Maybe we should find a hedgehog breeder!!
