Something has bees stripping the leaves on my newly planted wave petunias. I went out with a flashlight tonight and saw these critters hard at work. Can anyone suggest a solution for me?
Thank you! |

| Look up "slug bread recipe." I buy tiny clear plastic containers from Walmart for 18 cents (look on rack that has "dishes" to put pots in) to put the mixture in so I can just toss them the next day. I have done it once and caught a bunch of the nasty things. I am doing it again tomorrow night. I HATE slugs! I did not have much luck with Sluggo, and this is cheaper, anyway. :) |

| I had a good experience with Sluggo, but if you choose another brand of slug bait make sure it's nontoxic to pets and critters other than slugs. Some brands poison everything. Not good. |

| I buy some canalope, and put the rinds out around different areas, and you get a alot, You have to be relentless here to keep up with them, thank goodness for years now my grandkids love to hunt for them. |
