Yesterday, I found a few more trees to bring inside. Every night, I seek slugs to kill to keep them from chewing on y figs. To assist in my search, I bought this huge light that has tons of LEDs. It is SUPER bright! My garage is insulated and temperatures are well above freezing. The warmth brings out the biggest slugs that I call fish bait! These guys are pretty large.
Every few hours, I walk out in my garage and seek slugs. My garage is a 2 car garage but the wife only lets me use my side to store figs. And let me tell ya, I stuff my side full. Depending on the temp in my garage, I water my trees around once or twice a month. When I do, a day or 2 later, the fat daddy slugs come out.
Well, 2 nights ago, I went on patrol seeking slugs. I killed 2 using a long thick bamboo stick. But there was one across the other side of the garage out of reach from my stick, about 10 feet away. It wasn't on my tree or a container, it as on the base of the trim above the brick base. In order to reach it, I would have to open the garage door and wiggle around the trees and kill the beast. I did not want to do that!
I grabbed my pellet gun and started shooting. My wife came in the garage and asked me what I was doing. I said, shooting Slugs! She said, you are crazy! On the third shot, the slug was blown away! HA HA! SUCCESS!!!!! Another one bites the dust!!!!
I hate slugs and shooting them gives something to do while dormant.
