Has anybody else got lots of slugs in the garden this year. We only have a little garden, but we seem to have a lot of slugs this year

Slugs are, and have been always there, they are just very good at hiding. We are quite keen gardeners and restart our war on slugs and snails each Spring.

On a related subject, I never put my garden recycling bags into the car until last moment before I go to the dump, otherwise I spend ages hunting spiders, slugs and snails around the (extended) boot.

I find that the FL2 is very versatile, a lovely luxury comfortable car, that transforms into a van for the dump, or to take our two (car-transportable) mobility scooters on our day trips. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 77k+ miles) (MY2015)

One can reduce snail numbers with garlic, butter, parsley & shallots! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Slugs don’t seem to have the same appeal with garlic.😄. Chicken sounds good but a tie and responsibility as pets are. It just seemed to be more than normal amount of slugs. I guess it’s like everything once you notice something you’re looking for it all the time. Think that the birds on the estate are well fed in peoples gardens and don’t need to look for slugs to eat.

Slugs aplenty but also TICKS from the Deer, Foxes and Badgers that pass through our garden. The epitome of low life  MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

Aye ticks can be a serious issue these days,
I can remember having to check the dogs and ferrets after each time we had been out. DAVE.
