We're inundated here as well. Luckily most of the produce is large enough to survive them now, but next damp evening, I think I shall have to be out with the torch and a pointy stick.

Or some salt....

here in Nottingham not inundated at all....

Hedgehogs eat slugs too. You'll have to go to a Tiggywinkles Hostel and give some (flea-ridden) spiky friends a home!

I thought a dog had defecated on the path the other day, then I noticed it was a huge black monster slug, a 6" behemoth.
I bet he gets his five portions a day.

Water garden, wait for slugs...

Get old tennis racket, scoop up slug - toss and swing.....

You will be amazed how far they travel!

(PS Snails are better and travel further!)

Don't try that with a dog turd, though!
And I'm NOT speaking from experience!

Living bang in central London and there are loads of the feckers in our 'garden' (small area of concrete....)

Yes indeed. Boiled, poached, fried, scrambled, coddled.... all OK - provided you add salt

Apparently, 500 at a time, dirty little sh@gb@gs ! Can you imagine the baby buggy ?????

 

[Mr Phoebus]

Send in the parasitic nematodes to kick slug ass.

 

[purpleR]

stop it! tell me about something nice now please.

 

[Mr Phoebus]

OK, Latest research has shown Gordon Brown is only 43% slug and not 63% as first thought.
