Does anyone have any new methods for destroying the slug population in my backyard. One restriction, I have a dog who must not fall victim to the slug destruction method. I have tried "deadline" with some success. It kills slugs by dehydration when they come to it (it has the subtle flavor that slugs love). This has not however eliminated the entire pop- ulation. Since the garden will be going in soon I must minimise the masses as soon as I can. Other methods which are out include: Beer.....my dog drinks it Geese/Ducks...messy on the patio, and dog likes to snack Salt.......bad for soil conditions 357 magnum.....wakes up neighbors Napalm.......not bad, but tough on the lawn Any creative thinkers out there?

We get pretty good results with Corry's Slug and Snail Death. You can also get those slug garages that are supposed to be dog-proof. The Slug and Snail Death is harmful to animals, so you should probably make a little house for it out of a tin can, or fence in your garden, which will keep the dog from romping through it.
