The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Posted June 13, 2007 Is beer more humane than cutting their heads off? MG Ask yourself: what would you rather do, drown in beer or have your head cut off? I'd go for the beer...may do that right now... Do slugs get euphoric? If we knew they did, then drowning in beer might be better than a quick death. Has anyone measured drunkenness in slugs? MG Quote
mikeweil Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 I kill slugs with some special granulate that's attractive only to them - after eating it they simply hide away and pass out. We have plenty of protected snails in the garden, so no beer or whatever would kill the snails. We had two squirrels - one drowned in the rain barrel (six weeks without rain this spring, seems it was real thirsty), and my wife accidentally smashed the other's head when closing the kitchen window ..... so that problem is solved.

rostasi Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 That's terrible! Actually, I'm pretty fond of them. There are special feeders for them all around the house here. Eichhörnchen - one of those rather difficult German words to pronounce. Quote
MoGrubb Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 My wife (the gardener around here) goes out every evening about this time (dusk) killing slugs. She stays out until she's got 20. This evening, she just came in and reported that she'd only found 17! She must be winning! What do you do about slugs in the garden? MG Feed them to Mikey. I don't have slugs, but, I've got my neighbor's chickens that I'm going to blow to smithereens if they get into my tomatoes. Quote
Shawn Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) I don't have slugs, but, I've got my neighbor's chickens that I'm going to blow to smithereens if they get into my tomatoes. You know life is really fucked up when you can google "exploding chicken".... Edited June 13, 2007 by Shawn Quote
sal Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 Those black squirrels in Michigan are pretty cool, I must admit. Quote
7/4 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 Those black squirrels in Michigan are pretty cool, I must admit. I've seen them in upstate NY too. Quote
MoGrubb Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 Wow, I've heard of flying squirrels, but, these seem to really get around. Quote
7/4 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 Wow, I've heard of flying squirrels, but, these seem to really get around. You can throw them too. Quote
Aggie87 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 Pour salt on 'em and watch 'em dissolve... Maybe Cecil Taylor could record an album for slugs - "Salty, Swift, and GOODBYE". Ok, that was terrible, sorry. Quote
Kalo Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 Yeah, squirrels don't dissolve; it's more of a quick cut... Quote
Jazzmoose Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 That's terrible! Actually, I'm pretty fond of them. There are special feeders for them all around the house here. I'm sitting here hoping to hell that you're talking about squirrels, not slugs... Quote
rostasi Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 I'm sitting here hoping to hell that you're talking about squirrels, not slugs... Yeah, squirrels! Sharon made a chair for them to sit in while they eat their corn. and one youngster likes to come up to my window and peer in. Quote
