veggiemad Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) Hello everyone- I've not been on this part of the forum before so hello!!! We have recently installed a water butt -odd time of year, but we've had a bit of rain today!!, after a day or two i took the lid off only to find at least 12 slugs in there - yuck. Is this a general problem with w.butts or just mine. Me and hubbie have decided they must be getting in from the down pipe as all else is sealed off . any advice appreciated! thanks Edited July 1, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Hello, welcome to this section....... I've never come across slugs in a water butt Does the lid fit correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veggiemad Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 hi- thanks for your welcome!! Yes - as far as I know the lid is on proper- its abit fiddly actually , so it suddenly goes- bump- whens its on properly. We have a flat roof leading to the downpipe so may attempt some slug pellets up there. Hubbie has a weird horror thought that we have a zillion slugs living in the flat roof and soon it will fall in and cover us in gunge!!!!
