Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 hi nic believing and reality are not the same thing. fraggle got it right. a sensible snail will turn around. a drowned snail is an accident, as are virtually all drownings for all species. peace colin - earthstrm Saturday, June 10, 2006 1:55 AM Re: slug and snail proof with this method.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 It's only beer that kills them.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 I'll have to give the water a go. I had assumed it would kill them, but as you say, they would avoid it (hopefully) Jo - Michael Benis Tuesday, June 13, 2006 2:41 PM RE: Re: slug and snail proof with this method.

So are you saying that slugs are committing homicide against one another? BB Nikki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm saying that this one particular slug may have been responsible for the death of that snail.... Besides which, it wouldn't be homicide, it would be gastrocide :-) BB Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
