THE FIFER Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 slugs could be harmful to dogs if they lick the slime left by them, best thing to clear them is salt, but makes a mess as it de solves them, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyleakin Lofts Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Slugs can be carriers of worm eggs and could infect your pigeons. Any of the methods described will kill them, but diatomious earth may be the only one to stop them coming into the loft. Either that or salt, but the pigeons will also be attracted to the salt and if the slugs have been in it first ......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawked again Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Search on Slugs Copper Tape. You can get it from B&Q and there are some videos on YouTube. Looks like the easiest method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
