A deadline you do not want to meet..
Last night when I was out making my rounds, I came across several additional large slugs amongst my brugmansia seedlings. Now I know why the slugs are so large. Not only are they eating my Angel Trumpets, they are eating the fertilizer I recently applied as well!!!

Finding so many large slugs in such a short period of time convinced me that I need to resort to chemical warfare if I am going to get them under control. While I was at the growers supply store today I purchased some industrial strength slug and snail bait. The product is called Deadline, and I'm hoping that this will be the only deadline the snails and slugs will have to meet!

That is one BIG slug. Good luck decimating their ranks.
