Next this . This the worst around here. 6" Banana Slug. Big ones on the Olympic Pennisula get to be 9".

The thing followed me into the shop

Dave

but the "oriental style" is great in stir fry.

Dont let it near your Nickies

I got a lot of those big sucka's on Campus... tried the old salt trick (ya right)! all it did was make them slime more & crawled off. I tried pouring a mountain of salt on'm. Slim'd again & crawled off Dey's SUPER slugs

A hammer is the only thing that stops'm

Fill a large dog bowl with cheap beer and leave it out. They crawl up into it, get sloshed, and can't crawl out again. Works remarkably well...

Back when I lived in washinton I had some roommates with a 2 year old boy. They were trying to get him to go to the bathroom before bed. He would not do it. I told him to go find some slugs in the backyard and pee on them. All exited off he ran peeing on about 4 slugs. He was giggling up a storm when he came back. I then asked what the slugs were doing now, so he gets down about 2" away from the slug and say eeeewww! there MELTING! heh heh heh.

I bet a 5 second burst of brake cleaner would pretty much take it out.

Mmmmmmmm, Mmmmmmmmmm GOOD!

Anybody have any hot dog buns?

The beer in the bowl works gud. Just don't forget to empty is regularly or it becomes a frothing mass of.....sludge......that word doesn't do it justice. Doesn't smell too shiney either.

Ducks are the answer, they love em. Then you can eat the ducks. Um Good

I can't help but wonder just how these poor snot monsters got on the 'DIE! DIE! DIE!' list.

Actually the yellow banana ones are not bad. It's the brown ones that will eat your garden in the night. Eddy

Ok, I see..

So Dave, ducks eat banana slugs? Slug fattened ducks don't seem too appealing, as a dinner.. and then you have the persistant banana slug/eaten duck syndrome, anyhow..

Does anything eat duck shit? I am thinking that is the answer.


M

other ducks eat duck shit. they poop in the water they drink too. i like petting ducks. so does that smartty pants guy carl rove. oops.

r, today

Uhoh, this thread is getting political.

I had no idea that banana slugs could be so...mmm.. partisan.

Hey Miles you like crab. Crabs eat .

Miles, have you ever stepped on a slug barefoot
You need to use gas to get the slime off... ya, really, no shit! N'if they're big enought n' you step on'm on the sidewalk it's like a bananna peal. Seen many'a folks bust'n their buns from slip'n on slugs

.........b

cool rhyme. didn't know salt didnt work on slugs. i never burned ants with a magnifing glass either. burned myself once with the same technique. put a huge gaping hole in my brain......

Why not just eat the slugs and cut out the middle man, errr middle duck?
"Save a duck, eat a slug" That should be the new bumper sticker for you guys

You know you can drink their poo right?

Mmmm Slurm..

You guys are so cruel.....Banana slugs=Good.
I read a piece of research done on them a couple of years ago. According to the article an ingredient in their slime is a great treatment for exzema. The scientists are trying to isolate it.
I take daily walks around a local lake....I have had a patch of exzema on my left arm for years....Itched constantly.....I see slug and say to myself ..."what the hell" and pick up slug...Rug slime on exzema patch.....
This was two years ago, and it worked ....no more exzema, but if I have to repeat the "treatment" I won't pick up the slug with my bare hands again....The slime is impossible to wash off.

the same stuff is great for sore throats too, but you're not supposed to swallow the whole slug. it's the swabing that gags me. slug slime harvesting is the new cottage industry in washington. interesting tip tho.

GROSSSSS

Banana Slugs are treated with much reverence here in Santa Cruz. UCSC even uses them as their mascot. Check out the movie Pulp Fiction. Travolta has a UCSC Banana Slugs T-shirt.

Slugs are great for hemroids too!!

Just grab one and use it as a suppository, the slime soothes the little red fellers.

That's what my Grandma said anyway.
