the amount of corn away that i am.

[pjc]

put a tray of slug pellets by your corn bins but make sure the birds can't get them

[OLDYELLOW]

put green netting over vents ectra stop them geting in  gravel around the loft will stop them crossing it

[fancypigeon_88]

cheers, got sum realy fine netting on the inside of my air vents already

but the little buggers still get in.

be told to burry an small plastic dish in the ground bout 3inchs an half fill

with beer or milk an next morning it will be full.

some one else told me 2 collect them up every night an get rid of them

an over a week i'll have got rid of the colleny.

[OLDYELLOW]

beer traps work but what a waiste

[Peckedhen]

But what a lovely way to go! ;D

have had this problem asi i have open loft just get a couple of gallon cheap bleach put contents into rooser put round your feed bin and round loft after birds locked up for night they wont be there the following day when ever you see a slug do it wont harm birds cheap one pound forty pence

[fletch]

wont salt do the trick infront of the loft

[The Navigator]

I put salt in the front of the loft and that stops them dead. Yes you have to keep placing it, but it is cheap.

[fancypigeon_88]

cheers all, use3d salt before in my corn section an it marked the floor an

it wont dry now...

was also tlod that slugs wont go over copper

[jonj1978]

copper tape duz the trick too   gives them a shockwen they touch copper

 

get it from garden centre's  

i got it round my veg plot.

[steve d]

Just a thought my mate uses Vaseline to stop them climbing up his flower tubs, if you now where they are getting in but a bit of Vaseline on wood to stop them climbing up.

[andrew gooch]

buy some tins of wd40 spray out side your corn bin over your vents flower pot anythink it will tell u on the tin under pic of a slug

[Guest youngzimmy]

DEAD SIMPLE DRY SAND ROUND YOUR CORN BIN NUTHIN SLUGS HATE MORE THAN DRY SAND EVERY DAY IS A SCHOOL DAY LEARN SOMTHING NRW EVERY DAY

[jimmy white]

gravel, sand,  salt all stop slugs , even crushed up egg shells  but the old slug pub works ,, a can , with little beer at the bottom ,, will soon be filled with slugs , but strange getting them in this weather,with  hard frost etc,, anyway, watch the birds dont drink the beer , you might not have the best birds, but youll certainly  have the happiest ;D ;D ;D

[joe61]

make a moet round the loft as slugs cant swim

 

oh happy days

[sammy]

try the HARKY method and you wont ever see anymore snails  ;D ;D ;D ;D

[Wiley]

be careful slugs cause worms

[les]

tip any old grit around where the slugs are ,it is sharp and they dont like going over it ,and get the bins with screw on lids

[Guest]

use double sided sticky tape wrap round your bins

even the bottom of your lofts

then sprinkle salt on the tape

should keep them out

[Guest youngzimmy]

GET A MOAT ROUND YER DOOKIT AND YEA HAVE CRACKED I T MIND LOOK OOT FIR GREAT WHITESHARKS HAHAHA

[kirky]

i tried most of the above kept them out of the loft for a time, the best way is to collect them up after dark and get rid of them it took a couple of weeks.

[pigeonscout]

I would try the vinegar as it will be safe for the birds

[pigeonscout]

I do not understand how they are getting into your corn bins if the lids lock down tight. Are you sure they or not in the corn before you put it into the bin.

[breakaway]

in my shed an into my corn

bins, which have lids that lock down tight.

your havin a laugh must be mutant slugs on steroids, try puttin a brick on top of the bin lids
