Seems they're estimating an invasion to the UK gardens of approx 500 Billion slugs this year.

As a snail lover I'm offended :-D :-D

I will be killing them by the bucket load

I have over 2000 lettuce seeds in and 200 beetroot seeds
100 cabbage plants and god knows how many carrot seeds

No way are dirty Slugs getting anywhere near them ;-) ;-)

Tip for gardeners

Put beer traps in your neighbors gardens not your own
Beer attracts the slugs

So better to have them in your neighbors than your own ;-) ;-)

Trouble is emptying it out afterwards...then again if it's in your neighbours...
