Dawn B 212 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 The dogs could be in real trouble if they get the salt. Personally, Id bury slug traps. Pennies to buy and safe. 1 Quote Link to post
Skull Hooker 185 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Try putting some beer in a plastic containers buried to ground level. They love beer, go in to drink it, get pissed and drown. Bit of a waste of beer but it depends on how much you want rid of the slugs 1 Quote Link to post

They love beer, go in to drink it, get pissed and drown. Bit of a waste of beer but it depends on how much you want rid of the slugs Try scrounging the beer from the slop trays in your local (though some sneakily pour it back in the keg at the end of the night). Keep it away from the dogs as they'll enjoy it too and will get pissed! Quote Link to post
