We’ve caught lots of slugs using beer in metal pie pans here in the Maryland Piedmont. Seems like a pretty good way to go for the slugs. Maybe yours don’t like Mexican food? I’ve wondered if granulated lyme would work, while also improving the acid soil.

I should graduate to pie tins though I’d have to cut off Frida!
What a great story, and so well told. Hope you and your new allies continue to score wins. (And how amusing to read about Frida slugging beer...)
Thanks. She looks a little drowsy in the photo!
Thanks for the advice and pictures - I thought it was slugs eating all my sunflower leaves!
Slugs can be a real hassle but the garden is surviving. Hopefully the worst is over. Thanks for reading!
