Caught One!

Finally!

We didn't think we'd ever catch a slug in our beer trap. We caught several cockroaches, but never a slug.

Until one morning....

At last! We caught one!

I sent this photo to my cousin who emailed back, "You can put that on top a sushi."

Verrry funny!

  1. I think you should put it on top of your COUSIN'S sushi!

  2. Yesterday on my walk, I must have seen a dozen long slugs on the trail. There is no shortage of them, but congratulations on finally helping one to its boozy demise. :-)

  5. i have tons of them this year. put the beer in a lower container like a lid from a jar and you will catch a lot more.

  6. I hate those nasty things. I suppose they have some good purpose in creation but it's beyond me to know what it would be. Yuck.

    1. Sigh... That's where they should stay. In the forest. 😄

  9. Your beer appears to be in a tall container in the photo. Slug traps need to be right on the ground to catch them. When I had a slug problem in my garden, I used jar lids and they worked wonderfully. If you switch to a very low container, or bury a taller one so it barely sticks above the ground, you'll catch a lot more slugs. Good luck.

  10. You do grow them big and juicy over there. Kinda like here.

  11. Now getting the slug out of the beer with chopsticks is one for the books!

  12. I once bought some really cheap beer to use as a heating up agent in my compost pile. My husband was absolutely appalled at such a use for beer -- even though he would not have drank that particular brand on a bet.

  13. I'm sure you'll see another nasty little guy by the end of the year

    his name is Donald Trump

    and probably other slugs in the garden too

  15. I had no idea they grow so big, my gosh that is huge. The slugs here in Northern Ontario are so small, inch to maybe inch and a half tops, I found wood ash worked good sprinkled around the base of my plants,, the beer never worked for us but your king size slugs must have a mighty thirst.

  16. For reasons unknown, I'd never seen a slug or even a photo of one. That's a big critter you caught!

  17. Hum, wonder if they are edible like snails? A great sauce does wonders.

  19. We stopped having slugs once the coqui frogs took over. Don't know if it's worth it!
