To walk out there at night with a headlight & see hundreds crawling over my corn, my pumpkins, my tomatoes & peppers. it felt good to bring them to (though a perverted sense of it)...justice.
I failed to achieve my goal of using chickens as pest control this year, & don't want to use poisons in the garden.

Remember: USE NO SLUGGO OR OTHER POISONS IN YOUR YARD, or your frogs will be slipped the ultimate mickey when you feed them.
Keep me posted...I'm still wanting to get a population established outside as well.

I have only used Garden Safe snail/ killer that is safe for animals. It's a pellet that has Iron, when a snail or slug eats Iron it goes into a stupor and starves to death.I sprinkle this stuff and snails die by the tons and no birds /frogs ect are harmed...good stuff.
