Exacting your revenge (I)

Ok, after the earlier blog - time to get even, just a few handy hints on giving your slugs a good time before they meet their maker:

1. flavour them - add a bit of salt - makes them shrivel right up, draws the water out of them and they die
2. take them to the beach - sand they don't like crawling on it, slows them down to trap them easier
3. the magicians trick - cut them in half with scissors (keep special slug scissors)
4. breakfast explosions - feed them bran (they explode)
5. hotel fruit traps - trap them in half an eaten grapefruit/orange/melon - put upside down on the compost they hide inside like a hotel then feed them to the birds
6. secret slug hunting - go at night time catch them unawares - feed them to the birds
7. tequila - after they get drunk enough they forget they can't tolerate salt and are done for
8. beer garden - get them drunk - beer traps in the garden in cups sunk into the ground - collect when drunk as skunks
9. milk maid - milk will attract them, like the beer traps but better for your underage slug
10. treat them to some jewellery - copper rings etc electricutes them as they go over them
11. make them some brekkie - egg shells make them all sore cos they are spikey
12. the old one two - squish them - (pretty gross)
13. biological warfare - nematodes - a gross but biological method of control - water in the soil, then don't read about the effects - pretty disgusting
14. be-friend a frog - they love to eat slugs
15. frequent flyer miles - fling your slug with gusto into the atmosphere - they do like to fly and tolerate frequent flying
16. a delicious pet food treat - they love the smell of pet food - put some into a bowl/cup and let them feast themselves to their demise
17. buy them a coffee - coffee grains sprinkled around deter the little monkeys
18. baby them - talcum powder acts a bit like salt drying them out
19. take it off the menu - grow something they just don't like - there are 92 different plants they just won't eat including cornflower, scabious, snapdragons, honesty, tulips, creeping jenny and lavender
20. pellets are off limits - lifes to short to be boring and use pellets - they cost money and spoil your fun
