The slime returns...

One good outcome from this past winter's severe cold is that I have seen very few giant slugs sliding across my Angel Trumpets this year.  It could just be because I have been more pro-active with baits to keep the snails under control this summer.  Baby slugs have a small shell so they could easily be mistaken for a type of snail, and they would certainly eat the bait.

Tonight I came across several of the big mommas munching away on my yard brugs.

Unfortunately for this gal I happened to have a scissors with me while I was out strolling tonight....and thank goodness slugs do not regenerate when they are snipped in half..
