Slug control in the garden

[ukpreppergrrl]

Now I don't know how squeamish UKPG is but as a rule, its us guys who end up doing the 'icky' jobs. At least that's how it breaks down at Casa Deeps.

Alas in Casa PG it's either me or the cat! And he tends to use the excuse of not having opposable thumbs to get out of most things. I'm fine with most jobs, I'd just rather not touch these things with my bare hands - in fairness I do have a problem with eczema and dermatitis, and parasite ridden slug slime or dog/kitty poop on open wounds is probably best avoided if possible. A thin poop bag makes all the difference

Our neighbour and us get slugs in the house from time to time.They seem to get in through the cat flaps on the back doors.A barrier of salt does the biz.Mind you,as frogs will control them,we have the bonus of all the live ones that Eric,our Tom cat brings in for us.we regularly have them hoppin' around the house!
