Slugs and snails

lumierefrere · June 18, 2007

This is the 3rd year for my snail infestation. I have the Sluggo which is ok but you'd need it in truckloads. I got a bag of DE, I can't see that it's done anything yet. I spray them with Murphy's Oil Soap and that's so satisfying, makes them shrivel up right away.

What I've observed in my many hours of doing combat with these things is that they know exactly where the garden is. They're all headed in that direction. I don't find them moving away from the garden no matter where they are in the yard.

This seems remarkable to me so I remarked on it.
