I hummus, therefore I am ...
I only put in one trap so far - caught a few - a snail ate the paper on the outside of the can.
I planted out some ornamental tobacco yesterday and one slug came from nowhere and chomped holes in it. I don't know what the nicotine levels are like in that species, but nicotine is used as a pesticide.
I suppose it's down to me having abandoned my gardens for years. Maybe it will get better if I keep on dealing with it.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to stop throwing the snails on the compost heap and start squidging them too. They keep attacking plants growing from corms and tubers that are unlikely to recover.
