A recent siting of the dreaded killer, the TIGER slug, has prompted national
attention.
 
The tiger slug is capable if consuming an entire garden, flowerbed, or even
an entire vegetable/fruit stand in one slimy gulp.  If you are unaware of
what this demon looks like, keep the following photo handy for quick
reference:

please do not confuse this beast with the 'conventional' bananananana slug
 
The most recent siting of the tiger slug is in Granite Falls, Washington
(sort of a suburb of Seattle) (so it's 52 miles north east, big deal)

There is no way to kill one of these, just stock up on salt, rock salt,
block salt, and salty foods.  Lay out the 'salt' supply around your home
and outlying areas of your neithborhood as this will deter him from you.
