this is disgusting

Published Sep. 6, 2008

I open the back door to step out on the deck and there are hundreds of slugs. They are on the deck, on the tables, on the walls, and a couple were on the door itself.

I hate these things.

I would strongly suggest that anyone planning on getting pregnant not come around my house for the next week or so because there is about to be so much toxic waste in the form of slug killer that I may end up on the EPA Superfund list.

If you think the slugs that we have are gross, check out the European Ground Slug at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limax_cinereoniger

Those dudes get up to 30 CM long. For us Americans, that’s almost a foot!

Also, check out the Pacific Banana Slug, an equally gross and fun-filled animal. The resemblence to a banana is striking, both size and color. I’ve actually seen one of those things and it gives me the willies even THINKING about it ....

Just letting y’all know: It could be MUCH worse.

Slugs are NOT harmless.

Ask any plant they have eaten.

Salt or beer will dissolve them. They can be scooped up and put by a tree. They are harmless.

My cats love moles!!!

My car doesn't have a trunk! LOL!

I just went outside, trying to find some slugs, but found none. Moles love our yard. They tear it up so badly, that each morning, it looks like someone drove in our backyard with a car! It's terrible, yet I feel sorry for the moles. They are so small and cute.

My husband HATES them.

slugs are yuck

Your problem is that you can only fit perhaps two bodies in the trunk of your car. You need an SUV. Then you can really go to town.

Ha,ha! You know what subject gets ME excited, don't ya!?

I was hoping you'd take the bait. Oh well.........

Nightmares! I mean, sweet dreams to ya!

Oooops, now I've gotten her all excited...
