Am I worried?
Actually...no.
We've done the same thing year after year, home
after home, from California to Washington!
And it works.
It's called The Slug Boat, and it will:
SAVE TIME
SAVE MONEY
SAVE YOUR PLANTS
and all with
Zero Animal Cruelty!
As you can see, we've used a pair of kitchen tongs to gather a group of European Slugs (we never get the banana slugs in the garden).
Three weeks ago - Slug Hunt #1 - 112 slugs relocated (1 hour)
Two weeks ago - Slug Hunt #2 - 54 slugs relocated (1 hour)
One week ago - Slug Hunt #3 - 27 slugs relocated (30 min.)
Two hours ago - Slug Hunt #4 - 15 slugs relocated (15 min.)
It takes 1 month of regular slug "hunting" and next year will see AT LEAST a 50% drop in numbers, and so on each year.
AFTER A SUCCESSFUL HUNT,
you simply take a walk to a nearby open space or empty grassy lot and relocate those slimy yet gentle creatures!
**Timing is everything - head out around 8pm, 7am, or in the rain!**
HAPPY HUNTING!
What's in the slug boat?
ReplyDeleteThe "slug boat" is just a fun word for whatever container you choose to put your slugs into...I suggest deeper containers as some of them start wandering around while you're still "hunting." I have to say, I find slugs very cute and when a bunch of them are up around the lip of the container looking over the edge and wondering what is happening...I swear, they look like teddy bears! So, please...do take the time to relocate them. It's the compassionate thing to do.
