I had one that big on my yummy purple ruffle basil. I probably could've sold it to that guy for five bucks.

Seriously, how bored do you have to be with your life to eat that stuff? Eww.

O, my goodness! I hope I never get hungry enough that I have to resort to eating slugs!

Slug Control Option 4:

grab your boom box. place it somewhere close by... with your favorite dance tunes. Spend a few minutes searching out slugs. carefully place them on patio/driveway/walkway. Put on your dancin' shoes and do the 'Slug Bug Boogie' to your favorite rock music. You can also do the 'Slug Bug Stomp' if you happen to be into country music.

lol! That's disgusting and it makes me laugh.

I would do the Slug Bug Shuffle in my favorite hippie sandals because you can just hose 'em off and they're good as new.

This is WAYYYYYY more fun. Put out a shallow pan filled with BEER... they crawl in and get drunk and DIE... it may seem to be a waste of good beer though... but it did save my strawberries !!!!
