They crossed my red chip gravel to climb up the house wall. I saw a great big one the other day - really grossed me out.

Did you see the chap on I think the one show? He was a slug expert and he said some students did a slug removal in a garden, the first year they collected 31000, the second 40 odd thousand and third again 40 od thousand. He claimed you could not kill all the slugs.

We used wide copper tape around the seedlings we planted in the garden one year, and surprisingly it did work, but you have to be diligen and make sure it is lying flat so they can't get underneath, and get it as wide as possible.
