  1. I had to terminate this invasive juvenile black slug. It's in an area that's part of an ongoing rewilding community, environmental project. We remove them from areas where we're trying to protect native slugs & native habitat. Taildropper slugs are a native slug species at threat here on Vancouver Island & it's important to do our best to protect their habitats.

    Even though these are called black slugs, they have a wide colour range & most found here exhibit this brown colour, when young.
    Black slugs can lay up to 150 eggs at a time. They reproduce very quickly, which causes their population to grow beyond manageable in a short time period, if left to breed.
    By comparison, native slugs lay only 20-30 eggs & are slower to reproduce.

  2. I've used the beer trap method before. TBH, it doesn't seem like the worst way to perish... 😉 🍺

    12 Ways to Get Rid of Slugs Naturally

    "Are you curious about how to get rid of slugs naturally? Slugs and snails might be lovable for their cute storybook-character looks and because they’re just cool creatures. But slugs and snails in the garden that are eating away at your plants are not so lovable: Along with those adorable optic tentacles comes a voracious mouth that files through leaves and fruit, ruining it for the rest of us.

    "While there are all kinds of slug-killing concoctions available, using toxic pesticides is bad for beneficial insects and our waterways. So instead, if you are suffering from an onslaught of slugs, consider one of these natural alternatives."

  6. Last night's attempt to use (homebrew) mead to catch slugs was a faiiure, however, some rodent drank most of it, and is probably nursing a hangover. #gardening #slugs #mead
