A Crazy ass idea to kill the slug problem FOR GOOD!
    #10501056 - 06/13/09 07:06 PM (15 years, 7 months ago)

NOw,keep in mind that I havn't tried this; but, I wanna see if you all think it'll work...(right now its a :idea:):crazy::shrug:

Til now we (as a shroomey community) have not come up with a way to COMPLETELY ELIMINATE slugs from outdoor patches...? Correct? so we need a way to keep the slugs OFF OUR DRUGS!:rabble: 

Well so I was reading about Diaomactious Earth and ya'll said that it "Cuts up" the slugs when them slime across it...:grin:

This got me thinking... HMMMMMMM  :levitate: 

So here's the TEK.

Things you'll need:

A TIRE (with no rim):thumbup:
Beer BOttles (or anything glass):thumbup:
Apoxy. (any kind of super sticky material.):thumbup:
(Leather Gloves?)

WHAT YOU DO:

Bust the bear bottles and put them in a pile on the ground (on a flat surface if possible) THEN! cover the tire with  apoxy, as you roll it, onto the shattered glass shards... REPEAT until the entire surface of the outside of the tire is covered...:thumbup: BTW: You might wanna wear thick leather gloves:smirk:

MY THEORY:
Slugs try to get to the patch, and then are sliced into oblivion by the glass!! :lolz0rz: MUH HAHAHAHA! (lil mutherfuckers):doublefu:...Think it'll work?:confused2::headbang: :whoo:  :toast:  :headbang3:  :jedi:  :    :discodance:  :mjdance:  :mypleasure:

Dude, I picked em up to chunk em right? It took me 10 minutes to wash this "Slime" of my hands??? WTF? the slime isn't water soluable...that shit is the weirdest feeling  on your hands man... it doesn't wash off, its like, stuck there?!

I don't know how many dozens of times I've posted to simply put a coil of copper tubing around the patch.  Slugs won't crawl over copper.

Salt will ruin the soil, and is toxic to mycelium and plants.

They can crawl right over shards of glass. And yeah, their slime is amazingly hard to get off your hands.

I'd imagine copper would be the best solution. I know that in a reef tank, copper is bad... BAD BAD... a little copper will kill all invertebrates (coral, snails, worms, etc etc) I can only imagine it'd translate over to terrestrial inverts as well.

Okay Okay, :werd: but;and;so, what if you replaced the shards of glass with pennies? (Glued them on a tire?) See, my problem with the penny thing is there's space in b/w em, but, in order to fill those places; It would take like $15.00 worth of pennies! so, I say fuck the pennies! and so, RR where can I find this "Coil of copper tubing?"

and if you say wal-mart I'm gonna fuckin barf :scat: lol. Kidden.

Lowes prolly right? how much $$$$?

Heavy gauge wire should have a solid copper core.

Don't use pennies as they're not really solid copper unless they're made before... what is it... '82sh?

take 8 posts, and nail them at the corners, surrounding yoru garden.  2 posts at each corner, about a foot high.  then string wire across these posts.

next lay magnifying glass over the wire, creating a high intensity heat defense system or for short HI-HDS

OH! you mean like a guitar chord? (1/4in Phone) so? It'll work even with the rubber lining, or do you cut that off? (exposing the actual copper)

pretty sure guitar chord is brass, it sounds as iff slugs are allergic to copper, so you'll need the copper to come in contact with them

Copper tubing can be found in your local hardware store.  Look in the plumbing section.  You could bend it to make a ring or add elbow or 45's to make infinite shapes.  With tubing being a larger diameter than wire, you can be sure that the slug will not cross it.

you could also dig a small trench, line it with plastic, and fill it with water or oil.  if your going the medevil route when you see a slug trying to cross you can just drop a match

Really? b/c I'm almost positive that its copper!! (so my almost positive trumps your pretty sure);)

But all  that aside, I think Toklo is right; b/c trying to "Lay" the cord perfectly FLAT; proved much harder than anticipated.

And oh well, so much for INCONSPICIOUS!!!:facepalm:

Guitar strings ain't made of copper. There is no way it could take the tension. Copper is too soft. Plus, heavy-handed players would go right through that wrapping when they pushed too hard on the string against the fret (99.9% of guitarists use too much pressure). I don't know about electrics and steel acoustics..but my classical strings have some kind of a nickel allow. And my positive trumps your almost positive.

Okay, here's my Cher Tek for getting rid of pests, slugs included...

1.)  Get a blank CD
2.)  Burn one track to the CD -->  "Believe" by Cher
3.)  Place burned CD in CD player and set to repeat
4.)  Set CD player next to outdoor patch
5.)  Success

FYI, this will also keep most living things at bay.  You may need ear plugs when approaching!

:lmafo: No. No. No. You're talking about guitar STRINGS, I'm talking about guitar CHORDS... you know; the  ones that plug an electic up to an AMP?(like I said 1/4 inch phone) inside of them its copper wires coiled up around a tubing! b/c copper is a good CONDUCTOR... Problem is, them bitches are expensive, and its really thin wire (its a bunch of em) but theyre really really thin?

Here, do it with me, "Turn it over" Okay?! NOW were on the same page! :lmafo:

I would, but I can't find my CDR'S! SHIT!
I'mll just do the copper tubing thing mentioned above; but wait, am I to believe that this tek wont work b/c ONE PERSON said that they can slide over shattered glass? How does he know that? what? is he a slug expert?

And who figured out that they "don't like" copper? who's  doing feild test on slugs likes and dislikes? :wtf:
