Could be the answer to a slug problem

If you have trouble with slugs you really should get one of these.

An environmentally friendly way of getting shot of the ******s.:D

None other than the "Venus Slug" trap.:yho:





Pictures by Jason E, a mate of mine at work.

 

That's excellent

 

I can't tell who's coming off best, the slug or the plant!?

But that's a beautiful Venus Fly Trap plant. I tried to grow them a couple of times in the past, without success.

 

The slugs head is squashed flat. I'd say Venus Fly Trap 1, Slug Nil.:lollol:

 

Did anyone see River Cottage last night? Hugh F-W thought collecting them but not using them was a waste....so he attempted to cook them! Rather him than me. "Waste not, want not" can be taken a little too far!!

 

Just finished my egg roll brekky when I spotted this.... Thanks.....

Well snails are a delicacy, so why not?? :hehe:

 

Brilliant pete! Once it has eaten the head, do you think the plant will suck the rest of the slug in? :D

 

The final outcome, think we can safely say the plant won.

 

That`ll teach him.

 

My mate whos plant this is was a bit upset about the whole episode.

He tells me that particular kind of slug only eats rotten vegetation, I didn't argue, you know me, I never argue.:D

 

Then I must have the other lot. The ones that eat all my tender shoots, especially ligularia, foxgloves, day lilies, echinacea, lupins and even primrose

Off to buy a venus fly trap....or 10! Now if only they could live outside and grow in the border!

 

:gnthb: Excellent!!!! Would have LOVED to see that for real!!

 

haha thats well cool I hope mine doesn't get any slugs to eat as it's upstairs in my bedroom
