Question

I have a phobia of slugs, is there any way to stop it?? xx?

Answer 1

Yuk, so do I.  Get rid of the slugs.  Get some slug bait, there are several different brands, and all work well. They eat it, and just evaporate.  All gone!

Answer 2

The old-fashioned way is to leave a saucer of beer in the area where they congregate. I can't remember how or why it kills them, but it works. Disposal of a saucer full of dead slugs won't be pleasant, but at least it gets rid of them.

Answer 3

don't go in your garden! or kill them with salt. I hate them too. ugh.

Answer 5

Let me tell you a cute slug story..we moved to Oregon in 72 and first day or so here we went over to my aunts and she let us know there was an area behind her house where we could take a little walk, so us three girls did it and my sister saw the slugs and she thought they were really neat (we didnt have those in Illinois at least nearly that big), so she picked up everyone she saw and by the time we gotback she had two handfulls...and you can probably picture what her hands looked like lol..my aunt then informed us that those were garden pests and not really to be picked up and brought home LOL  It took her two days to get all the slime off her hands!   Oh and once that same sister threw one in my hair yuck they are gross

Answer 6

You need a non-toxic bait made of iron phosphate.  Both slugs and snails readily eat this though it kills them quickly.  Furthermore, any uneaten bait simply fertilizes your plants.  My parents had a large infestation of snails eating their lillies, and this totally destroyed the critters.

This is available under the names Slug Magic, Sluggo, and Multiguard Slug and Snail Pellets.  Or, search "organic slug and snail control" for links.

Answer 7

i dont think there is a way to get rid of a pobiea

Answer 8

The best way would probably to just sit down and watch a slug some time. If you see one, and you're not in a hurry, just watch one slime on by.

It really depends on what you're afraid OF.
