You can post a photo of snail damage. Newbies might be interested.

Just reading that she is having the snail problem tells me something I didn't know, but you're right, any detail is appreciated by us newbies!
Kinda get the feeling I'll consider myself a newbie here for a couple of years.

I've had terrible slug problems this year. Far worse then last year. I'm sure it's because we've had so much rain and last year we had a drought. It's become too costly to spread diatomaceous earth every other day so I have lots of swiss cheese foliage.

Warren, I got my first brug last summer and have been visiting here since back in the fall. I feel like a sponge trying to absorb all the knowledge here. Welcome!!!!

I have to say, I have had terrible slug problems.
I bought Ortho Bug-Geta for snails and slugs, and I haven't seen a slug since I put it down. ALOT less holes in the leaves on the brugs since then..now it's just other lil chewers making holes, lol. Bu it's def less damage than the slugs were doing.

I agree, post some pix of the slug damage to the flowers so we can see what it looks like!

I love looking at everyone's pix, including the ones that aren't brugs.

Well unfortunately the batteries in the camera are dead. When I picked the blooms, I also found a little tiny green worm and an earwig. Ewwwwww! So I unfairly blamed the slugs this time, but believe me, those suckers are out there munching away as we speak. I hate them and have a terrible time with them every year. They love my hosta too.

Ewwww! Earwigs! I have them in a couple of my inground brugs. They aren't doing much damage but those suckers freak me out and most bugs don't phase me in the least. They remind me of the Star Trek episode when they put that thing in Chekov's ear.
