Glad you liked it Rick!
>>>>This OSU fact sheet says "mostly spring and early summer" in one place, then in another place says 30-40 days after mating, which seemed to me to add up to laying eggs in Sept. through mid-November.
That is what I was thinking partly because if they mate usually in august and then lay eggs after 40 days then that means we have babies in the fall.
>>>>Anyway, I try to reduce their numbers before they each lay dozens of eggs.
Me too Rick, the only good slugs are dead slugs. So I will keep on spraying my cheap ammonia.
>>>>The OSU fact sheet also taught me NOT to mulch with weed remains or fresh grass clippings! Slugs thrive under wilted or decaying greens. Compost them instead.
What about leaves, I think I read somewhere that they like to hide under leaves also, it is rotted matter?
