Slugs: Sluggo PLUS
Here's one product that really works for slug control around lilies. I don't feel comfortable about posting pictures of company products, but when I find something that really works, I am going to tell my fellow gardeners about it. Slugs are difficult to deal with; there is no cure all. THE BEST WAY IS TO BE PROACTIVE AND PREVENTIVE EARLY IN THE GROWING SEASON. What I do is throw a few handfuls of pellets around directly in the garden shortly after the noses are up. At the same time, I sprinkle a barrier of pellets all around the outside border. This stops any new ones from coming into the garden. One application seems to last me about a month. And for every one or two slugs you can prevent today---that translates into dozens that won't be born during the height of the season. This product really controls their population down to next to nothing. For patio potted lilies, I sprinkle a few pellets around the base of the pot rather than in the soil, but either way, it works there too. This product should be available at most ''better' garden centers in your area.
