Those little fuckers will destroy yr garden if you let them.

You can leave beer out in a cooking pot and they’ll climb the walls then drown in it - but I don’t drink and don’t want to buy beer

Sooooo you can capture 4 or 5 of them, cut them in half and impale them on skewers and line your garden Vlad-like and that will, I shit you not, scare the rest from coming in.

Unfortunately, slug eggs are super fucking tiny and are just left random-where in the soil, so there’s nothing short of nuking the ground that we can do to get rid of them…so the staking continues.

Now the important question, does it grow back bigger?

Should that also have been mentioned in the ‘Diet’ section as well?

Don’t know about that bit buuuut terrible to step on, in the middle of the night. in the grass, with bare feet.

I remember salting those things with my grandpa in his garden when I was a kid.

I also remember UCSC students cooking and eating them after the school adopted the banana slug mascot.

Fell-ouch-io?

I thought that was pretty frequent in slugs, isn’t it?

Another interesting fact about these, their mucus has a mild anesthetic affect and will numb your tongue if you lick it.

As someone who is from Or*n, rofl. My parents even have a story about their dog from when I was a baby freaking out about a banana slug while we were camping.
