hi

Singlenotsingle · 14/06/2019 22:27

Just a little sprinkle of salt will sort it out.

I have a slug that visits my living room every night and leaves by morning. I only know because of the trail it leaves behind.
If it's one of those fuckers I'm burning my house down.

DaisyYellow · 14/06/2019 22:28

I was admiring a nice long slug on the wall outside my flat a couple of nights ago. I must be weird, hey ho.

ilovebeaversandicecream · 14/06/2019 22:28

r u sure that sug is not having an affair with ur dh? :) lol

ilovebeaversandicecream · 14/06/2019 22:29

slug*

Magicpaintbrush · 14/06/2019 22:29

Beer traps are the best way. Don't use a container you'll ever want to re-use, instead cut the bottom off a plastic bottle or milk carton a fill it halfway with beer, then leave a few in likely places around your flower beds - I garantee they will be swimming with dead slugs by morning and your plants will cease to be a slug buffet.

Blood? argghhh

ilovebeaversandicecream · 14/06/2019 22:31

why r u ppl peverting on slugs? what did they so to get ur undividing attention.

Toooldtobearsed2 · 14/06/2019 22:31

Little shits managed to get into my wellies earlier this week.

I splattered one ramming my foot in, but saved the other by carefully inspecting t'other wellie first.

Nearest neighbours are almost half a mile away, but I am sure they heard the screams and swearing 😶

Toomuchstuffwillkillme · 14/06/2019 22:32

Ah beavers please stop lowering the tone of my thread Grin, I think it's time for me to leave now. Sweet dreams all

I have dozens and dozens of the bastard slugs (not dozens of albino ones!!!) - if I throw them anywhere they will march straight back.

I've seen an albino slug but never one that marches Grin Grin

rollingpine · 14/06/2019 22:47

Ugh. I see your slugs and raise you..... leopard slugs.

Same size but with extraordinary spots. I have a whole colony of the bastards in my garden and if you think I'm going out there torch in hand to try and take a photo of one at this time of night you've got another think coming.

thenightsky · 14/06/2019 22:48

They have real blood? OMG.

SoupDragon · 14/06/2019 22:56

I think I have some leopard slugs in my garden.

I've never seen a white one though!

(I find they pop between your toes if you step on them barefoot. It's deeply unpleasant.)

S1naidSucks · 14/06/2019 22:56

The ghost slug is carnivorous and nocturnal, sucking earthworms into its body with blade-like teeth

WTAF? 😱 runs around the house throwing salt at every door and window

mumwon · 14/06/2019 22:57

second beer (old flatish yogurt pots) & recycle coffee - apparently the caffeine is bad for them
so either you give them alcohol poisoning or give them overdose of caffeine (have vision of them rushing round garden top speed)

small2018 · 14/06/2019 22:59

The title need a warning!

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

RhinestoneCowgirl · 14/06/2019 22:59

Aren't leopard slugs the ones who eat other slugs? I.e. quite useful?

cliffy69 · 14/06/2019 22:59

Saw the thread title and was gonna tell you to try a different position Grin

ozymandiusking · 14/06/2019 23:07

MitzK There is no such word as predate as you have used. Yes to predate an antiquity may be. I think you mean the would be "prey on other slugs."

justanidiotagain · 14/06/2019 23:10

The albino one is amazing. I want it.

NameChangerAmI · 14/06/2019 23:14

Blood? Not greeny yellowy slug slime?

Well I never! Genuinely am surprised at that!

MoreHairyThanScary · 14/06/2019 23:22

I have slo worms so very few slugs it's revaltionary! Hated the mini snakes when I got here now they are my best friends!!!

SrSteveOskowski · 14/06/2019 23:22

Yuk! They have to be one of the most disgusting things ever Confused
