I'll have to read up on slugs. I have read many times here about using beer traps for them, and the local grocery store sells a Texas brand (I think) beer called, "Frio" - it is very inexpensive - like less than $4 for a six pack of 16oz. and is really a beer with alcohol. HEB (Grocery Store) had a sampling stand with Frio Light. I'm not a huge fan of beer, but it wasn't bad for a cheap beer. I could see using it in a barbecue sauce. I'll buy some and see if we have slugs.

I remember playing with slugs as a child. Seems like they only come out at night and they like it when it's rainy/foggy/humid. It could very well be slugs because this spring has been very wet here.
