I'm not sure it was ONLY slugs, but I eventually made the connection to all the slug trails, probably when I found a slug still in one of the trays the next morning. And once I started using slug bait, they lasted long enough to be transplanted.

Maybe next spring I should try 1-2 mouse traps to see how many there are. My cat and all the neighborhood cats seem to be too lazy, or too old, to chase mice.

i was afraid that even if I tried wintersowing, slugs might squeeze through vent holes. But probably not mice. Not without gnawing a hole and leaving evidence!
