Killing slug eggs next spring

[Larry Fisher]

I promised at the June Trellis meeting last Saturday to repost this tip from a previous meeting. Everyone at the meeting complained of lots of replanting this spring due to huge numbers of tiny slugs. These slugs seem to stay put on a plant and devour it and are harder to eliminate or control.

 

To keep from a repeat performance next year (2012). Treat your lawn and maybe your  garden groundcover crop next spring:

 

To kill slug eggs: In spring on grass lawn a 50/50 mixture of ammonium hydroxide (liquid ammonia) and water.
