OMGosh, that is so funny (in a ligt hearted way). Who would of thought slugs would take over.

The world needs more chickens!! They would wipe out slugs in no time but then we'd have a chicken infestation.

How's the slug population this week?

Have you tried laying out trays of beer? It works well in my garden. I find dozens of slugs and earwigs in the bowl in the morning.

I tried another method that was in an organic gardening book. It didn't work, so I'll try the beer method next. I know that WILL work. I have alot of slugs and snails..

That is really hard to imagine without getting a queasy stomach. Yuck-o! I wonder what the reason is that have let them get so out of control. Has there been a loss of birds that normally feed on them or something? We have infestations of grasshoppers every year and they leave my garden nearly completely defoliated. They aren't slimy like slugs or anything but they aren't exactly fun when you have them flying up and jumping all over you as you try to walk through the yard. I would estimate that there are probably 100 per yard, and that's a whole lot of grasshoppers!

I hope they don't do much damage in your garden!

Yuck! I've had great results with crushed egg shells & sluggo. Last year we had a horrible slug problem. This year I did the above & haven't seen 1 slug or their damage. Of course that also might be helped by the drought.

I have wonderful results with Epsom Salts. Last year I didn't put any out and the slug population exploded. This year in spring I just sprinkeled it around the edges of everything. The garden beds, the patio, the fences... you get the idea. I haven't seen one this year so far. I also found this on organic gardening forum.
... I love using epsom salt in my garden. The plants turn green and sturdy, and the slugs stay far, and away. It is also good at irritating soft-skinned grubs.
I do not dilute it in water first. I sprinkle it right out of the bag.
That's the same way I use it also it's very inexpensive.
