Whambud Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Not rained for a while... But in the back of my mind I must prepare for battle. Slugs in the past I've used small silver pellets that supposedly cause them to die under ground also use copper tape... Didn't work that well so I'm wondering if anyone has anything in mind? @BLhaze just before you say no I'm not interested in using a mini guillotine to decapitate slugs or any explosives for that matter haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punk#1 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 If you were growing in pots then wd40 sprayed around the pot works and grease on the pot too, copper grease even better but it doesnt look like your in pots so you could cut some large pots in half and use the top part of the pot to plant in the ground around the plant and put your wd40 or grease on those you could try beer traps and try some different slug pellets maybe, the ones from B&Q work ok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not heard of that method before actually! There should be some kind of spikey circle that stops them from climbing up without ending up in a 100 pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whambud Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 @Punk#1 @QFMAC @BLhaze Just seen this cone that looks alright seems to make it a tricky climb! Could use that with pellets wd40 and tape should be enough haha If all fails I'll hook up a car battery to some copper wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
