Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Noooo, not a mouse . A huge, fat, slimy, squashed, revolting slug . It's the second one we've found. I have to wash the slime and goo off the trap to reuse it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scramble Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 May I be the first to say: ewwwwwwww I don't need a mouse trap for my slugs, my little darlings eat them anyway Along with worms and spiders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 mind your fingers - very painful if caught in trap believe me - cartoons are all very funny but it hurts - a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 That is revolting I once put a humane rat trap out and caught Brenda our released rescue hedgehog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Sausage, our cat catches slugs in his arm pits. It's vile having to brush them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I take it Sausage is a long-haired cat, Janty? I had one like that. She used to come in from the garden, jump on to my lap and snuggle up, and then ... ewwwww! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Yes, Sausage has got long hair. He spends huge amounts of time lying around and the slugs love him. It's really embarrassing when someone comes to the house and strokes him only to find a squidgy bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I'll tell my mum to invest in some mouse traps then because she keeps asking how she can kill all the giant slugs in her garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I need to know what it was you used as bait ANH! This could be the way to go for organic slug control on my allotment! There isn't much sluggy activity yet, but I've spotted a couple of fat orange lurkers under my weed suppressor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I'll tell my mum to invest in some mouse traps then because she keeps asking how she can kill all the giant slugs in her garden Or she could get a long haired cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 The bait that caught both slugs was a tiny piece of stale biscuit . Can't remember what they were, kind of oaty ones. This is the type of mousetrap I use. I've caught about 4 mice too so they work well and can be used over and over .

Seagazer Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Yuk When Sophie was a kitten she used to catch slugs and I'd have to try to clean them off of her teeth, her mouth would be all slimed up, disgusting thing. Thankfully she outgrew this disgusting habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I caught a shrew in my rat trap So sad .... with it's little pointy nose and little whiskers. It was a boy though so at least there weren't any hungry babies left in the nest I've abandoned that as it never caught any rats. The poisoned bait on top of the compost heaps has done the trick though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippy bird Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 we get slugs coming in through the cat flap and they find their way into my OH's walking boots! I don't know who I feel sorry for the most - my hubby getting slimy feet or the poor slugs having to put up with smell!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 We caught the big fat brown slugs in our mouse traps - the nice ones where you can set mousie free miles away - they seemed to appreciate sunflower seeds, raisins and chocolate and a smidgeon of cheese. I had to put down pellets after that to keep my peas going and mouse free. My brother's cat always used to collect yukky things in her long fur too.

Chookiehen Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 We used to have hoards of slugs that came in our kitchen at night, through the cat flap in the old house. It was disgusting . Especially after we had Caitlin, and would be wandering through to the kitchen in the middle of the night to get bottles for her. Tigger and Hartley used to eat them.....
