50 Ways to Kill a Slug

Has your delphinium been devoured? Has your lettuce lost its leaves? Is your vegetable patch a slimy slug banquet-with you as the unwilling host? Fear not, help is at hand. Win the war against the most hated garden pests in the world with a battle plan made up of 50 effective slug-killing tactics-all illustrated with amusing cartoons. Never has such a practical and important handbook been such fun to read. Begin by knowing your enemy, a creature that`s not only quite capable of eating double its weight in organic matter every day, but also can mate with itself and produce up to 36 eggs several times during the year. And that adds up to a lot of slugs. Look to the enclosed, at-a-glance profile to find effective weapons against the slug (including beer and birds) and discover its weaknesses. Find new ways to confuse them and set them off track. Then choose from those 50 slug-beaters, and inflict death the natural way, by chemical warfare, and by using the element of surprise.
