Photo by photogirl7.After my recent post about assassin Ninja squirrels, I heard all about squirrels, moles, and slugs. Chikako, whom I know to be an avid gardener, wrote that her garden in the Pacific Northwest is overrun with slugs and could I please produce a picture of a slug in agony? Chikako, the photo on the left is at your request. Enjoy. I wish I could add a sound track of tiny slugs squealing in pain for you.

LOL! What a glimpse into your world Heather.
Bob, I hope that glimpse isn't so scary that you never come back! :D
I like to pour table salt on slugs and watch them squirm. That way, there is one less to step on in bare feet at night on the patio.
I like salting my slugs, too, Sally. But the problem with salt is you can only get the little suckers when you see them! A friend told me the best way to get a bunch at once is to put a pan of beer in your garden. The slugs will flock to your impromptu bar, apparently, and drink themselves to death. Mwa-ah-ah! (Check out this e-How article on how to kill slugs: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:YqlWqQUmxpgJ:www.ehow.com/how_2330499_bait-kill-slugs.html+how+to+kill+slugs&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a
Gasp! Did I really request such a horrible thing!? I did; I just checked. It's not funny: a living thing in agony, even for a slug. I give it a quick death so it doesn't have to suffer. Of course, I may change my attitude when the dry season passes... I'll keep the picture just in case.
