But I'm game for anything that might work. I've heard about the beer trick, but haven't tried it. It just hurts me to think of them guzzling my brew. I might consider letting them have the strawberries instead. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-85624788161316175902009-04-29T17:34:00.000-07:002009-04-29T17:34:00.000-07:00Good luck with them!

You don't have to pour it on the ground or anything, they will come to the bowl. I don't know if that's a natural solution, but I don't think it'll harm the lake, or you, or anything but the slugs really.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-17723598981670699952009-04-29T12:00:00.000-07:002009-04-29T12:00:00.000-07:00When I lived in Britannia Beach I had a real probl...When I lived in Britannia Beach I had a real problem with slugs. I tried everything including egg shells. The only problem was I had to start collecting egg shells a good year ahead of time. It's a never ending war, especially if you try to fight a "green" battle. Hopefully you will win this one.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03593728147751269710noreply@blogger.com
