Recipe For Boiled Sea-Slugs
Boiled Seaslugs. (Catching sea-slugs). When a man wants to take sea-slugs,he first goes for a thin shaft which is used by the salmon fishers.
http://www.hallman.org/indian/slug.html

Extractions: When a man wants to take sea-slugs, he first goes for a thin shaft which is used by the salmon fishers. He takes two thin cedar sticks, each one a short span long and a little thinner than the little finger, flat on one side and he takes cedar-bark and splits it in narrow strips. The two cedar-sticks are to be hooks at the end of the sea-slug spear. He puts these near the end of the harpoon-shaft, and ties them on with split long strips of cedar-bark. When it is finished, it is this way: [A simple illustration is omitted, of spear with hook lashed on end]. Then he waits for it to be calm at low tide. When it is calm, he launches his sea-slug-gathering canoe. He takes his sea-slug-gathering paddle, and his knife for cutting off the heads of sea slugs, and also the stick for catching sea-slugs. Then he paddles to a place where he knows there are many sea-slugs. He looks down into the water; and when he sees a place where there are many of them together, he takes his stick for catching sea-slugs and pushes it down into the water. He pushes the hook-end under the sea-slugs. Then it comes up lying crosswise over his canoe. He takes the sea-slug, takes his knife, and cuts off the neck. Then he squeezes out the insides, and he throws it down hard into his canoe, saying as he is throwing it down

Controlling Slugs And Snails In The Garden
SLUGGGGGGS! YUK! Controlling slugs and Snails in Your Garden. The new blossomsforming on your perennials, sunshine, longer days, . slugs! Sluggy.
http://www.thegardenhelper.com/slugs.html

Extractions: Ahhhhh! The joys of springtime abound... The new blossoms forming on your perennials, sunshine, longer days,........ slugs! Slugs may be a very serious problem to you if you live in the Northwest or other moisture laden areas of the country. A single lawn prawn can successfully remove an entire row of seedlings from your garden in no time at all. He can turn a perfect plant into swiss cheese over night and return to the safety of his hideaway, leaving you to wonder what happened...... As slugs wander about, doing their evil little slug deeds, they leave behind them a trail of slime which amounts to nothing less than a road sign for themselves and every other slug to follow to the grand feast. To make the situation even worse, slugs are hermaphrodites, they all have male and female reproductive systems. Yes, they can mate with themselves, and in the privacy of their own abode, each slug will produce two to three dozen eggs several times a year. The egg clusters look like little piles of whitish jelly BB sized balls. They will hatch in anywhere from 10 days to three weeks or longer, and these sluglingss can mature to adulthood in as little as six weeks. Destroy the eggs... wherever you find them.
The Horrible World Of Flying Slugs

http://www.belch.com/slugs/

Extractions: How flying slugs would alter our planet: Religion India would worship the slug as a deity. In New Delhi, on every corner, is a hamburger stand that must close at dusk to keep the slugs out of the meat. Bats would not be feared, even though the typical specimen of its kind is up to three times the size of our own (due to a natural diet of flying slugs). Bats are favored pets in homes across America. Voodoo rituals would consist of the worship of slugs.
Snails And Slugs
Snails and slugs. July 14, 1999. They especially like to feed on the hostaplant. Snails and slugs are mollusks, related to oysters and clams.
http://www.ag.uiuc.edu/cespubs/hyg/html/199912a.html

Extractions: Snails and slugs are mollusks, related to oysters and clams. Snails transport a protective shell on their backs, basically carrying their homes with them. They are generally brown and from 1 to 1-1/2 inches long. Slugs are referred to as naked snails because they have no shell. Gray garden slugs are brownish and from 1-1/2 to 2 inches long, while spotted garden slugs are yellowish with black spots and may be 6 inches long. Both snails and slugs lay clusters of translucent, pearly-shaped eggs under debris or beneath the soil surface. They can lay from 20 to 100 eggs several times per year. Snails and slugs require moisture to move around, and they secrete a slimy mucus trail, which they use for this purpose. These secretions then dry up into a shiny, noticeable trail. Snails and slugs are active at night when humidity is high from evening rains or irrigation. During the day, they hide under mulch, plant debris, rocks, boards, weeds, and ground covers.

slugs on the Run. New Solutions. This compound is very toxic to mollusks, includingslugs and snails, and relatively safe for humans, pets, birds and insects.
http://www.naturalhomeandgarden.org/slugs.htm

Extractions: Fliers and Handouts Slugs on the Run New Solutions A couple of new products have made slug control easy, effective and safer. The brand names are Sluggo, Escar-Go! and Worry Free; these are baits containing iron phosphate. This compound is very toxic to mollusks, including slugs and snails, and relatively safe for humans, pets, birds and insects. It causes the slugs to stop eating as soon as they consume it. They begin to die in 3-6 days. Dead slugs may not be visible because they often crawl into secluded places before dying. The baits can tolerate rain, and very little is needed. Scatter it close to the plants you want to protect, and near places known to harbor slugs, such as ivy plantings. It takes very little, probably less than a teaspoonful in each location. Bait not consumed by slugs will biodegrade, and is actually a soil nutrient. It can be used around vegetable crops, fruits and berries, and around domestic animals and wildlife. Time-tested Solutions Copper barrier strips and screening create a very effective barrier between the slugs and your garden. The copper causes an electric shock to the slugs, thus preventing them from entering your garden. It also prevents the slugs that are already in your garden from getting out, so make sure you hand pick these until you have eliminated the population. The copper fits very nicely around your raised wood boxes, or can simply be pressed into the ground around the area you want to protect.
Natural Life Magazine #44 - Controlling Slugs

http://www.life.ca/nl/44/slugs.html

Extractions: by Wendy Priesnitz Keeping plants healthy in an organic garden involves avoidance techniques like creating a garden environment that encourages plants to grow while discouraging pests and diseases. Inevitably some problems will still arise unless specific action is taken. The common slug is too common a pest to even need much of an introduction. Slugs attack a wide range of plants, causing anything from slight damage to death. Unfortunately, there is no foolproof method for eradicating slugs. All one can hope for is to reduce their numbers and protect plants when they're at a vulnerable stage. Toads, frogs, and beetles eat slugs and are worth encouraging in your garden. There are few fleshy plants that slugs don't eat. But if your slug problem is particularly bad, avoid their favourites, such as hostas and marigolds. One of the best ways of dealing with slugs is to use physical barriers. Place plastic bottle cloches around plants, or sprinkle circles of lime, eggshells, or sawdust around plants. Slugs are attracted to saucers or plastic pots of milk or beer (they drown themselves in ecstacy).
Slugs
What do organic growers do about. slugs? David Storey. It would be nice to be ableto say that organic gardeners have a simple magic solution for slugs.
http://www.organicmattersmag.com/features/what2do_slugs.htm

Extractions: Organic gardeners do all they can to make their gardens less attractive to the slug. Too much weed cover or badly drained areas provide a haven for them. Travel is difficult for the slug on dry soil so watering only around the base of susceptible plants can give your plants some protection. Slugs like the lush watery growth of over-fed plants. So don't overdo the liquid feeding. Predators Slugs have many predators. Birds, hedgehogs, frogs and moles are just some of them. In country areas, keeping a few ducks is an effective way of reducing their numbers.

Extractions: The trail of the snail Evolution Biology Classification Snail species ... What's new Yes,i like snails and slugs,and not the kind that appear on restaurantmenus called escargots, but the ones that live in the garden leaving slimy trails.Ok,call me weird if you like but i really love the little creepers,i rather use snailmail than email and the Snailwatcher by Patricia Highsmith is one of my favourite stories. This site contains three sub-sites:the landsnails site,the freshwatersnails site and the slugs site . Each part is designed so that it can be viewed as a separate site.Because of that you might run into information you found earlier on another part of the site. What's there for you at this site: Evolution tells how the snails evolved to what they are today. Biology has info on the biology of snails, Classification tells you about the classification of snailfamilies and the differences between the Prosobranchs and Pulmonates. The Slug pages has information on slugs and slugspecies, the Links page has....you know what.Ofcourse there is some poetry written about such a beautiful animal.

Extractions: John A. Morley N.P.D., B.Sc., M.Sc. Welcome to Hort-Pro THOSE CREEPY SLIMY SNEAKY SLUGS by Bruce Zimmerman Slugs and snails are sneaky because they attack under the cover of darkness. They will go to great lengths to obtain their favourite foods. Slugs to this end will stretch out to twenty times their normal length enabling them to squeeze through the smallest openings. Those slimy trails that they leave behind while unsightly also act as a sign post on the super highway to their favourite foods. Yes, on subsequent evening forages all the other snails and slugs will follow this super highway too.

The Latest Surefire Methods Of Controlling Slugs
The Latest Surefire Methods of Controlling slugs. By Robert C. Olson. St. If therewhere a best way of controlling slugs there wouldnt be so many ways.
http://www.perennialweb.com/pwarticles/pwslugs-a.html

Extractions: The Latest "Surefire" Methods of Controlling Slugs By Robert C. Olson St. Louis Park, Minnesota DILETTANTE SYSTEMS: If there where a "best" way of controlling slugs there wouldnt be so many ways. Over the years one has seen scads of articles written on this subject, many of them very imaginative. This summer I heard of more new schemes than ever before. Perhaps this is because I had significant problems with these unspeakable pests and was looking for alternatives to failed strategies. When my current system didnt appear to be permanently eliminating the slugs I looked for a new method-and there where many to choose from. The New Wave: Reliable expert information was needed. I called the department of plant pathology at the renowned University of Minnesota School of Agriculture. They didn't have a clue as to whether it would be harmful to hostas or any other horticultural material, but it wouldn't lay a glove on alfalfa they said. The supreme guru of horticulture problems in Minnesota is Deb Brown, Director of the State Horticultural Society. The department of plant pathology, which by now was interested in this, had her call me to discuss it. She didn't know either, but encouraged me to try it on a few replaceable plants and let her know at the end of the season. Good advice. Most of the usual chemicals were only slightly effective in the big outbreak occurring at my place this year. The epidemic may have been as a result of adding huge amounts of compost to each plant in early spring-as any competetive gardener would do to get bigger and better plants than any one else. A warm wet May and being out of town, thus leaving the garden unprotected for a week or more at crucial times when the slugs are actively mating and laying eggs were additional factors.

Extractions: The Slugs of Vapula By: maya@tcp.co.uk (GR Cogman) The Teaser A mighty kaboom in the Symphony, as a local (wherever is convenient) Tether is attacked and then destroyed. If the players get there in time to do something, they get to face off with a gang of skinheads, led by a dark man in a leather jacket - this man actually performs action that defaces/destroys the Tether, and disappears in the blast of Celestial power, which should strew the PCs around the place. Who is the man in leather? A Malakite of David. Who are the gang? His Soldiers and followers. What's going on? Ah, that's more interesting. Alternatively, the above actions have already taken place, and the PCs are asked to look into it by Superiors (David, or their own bosses, or whoever the Tether belonged to.) What's Really Going On Slugs of Vapula. Really. Your local dubious and unwise Scientific Laboratory (I'm sure there's one around) has been experimenting, with diabolical inspiration, with these slug-like creatures the size of a sausage or so, that can link to the brainstem and control a person's actions. These slugs could theoretically be controlled remotely. Wonderful. At least, the Shedites who are possessing the slugs think that it's wonderful. They're in the slug, the slug is in the human, and they're almost totally hidden. Also, no will struggle, as the slug controls the body autonomically, and they control the slug mentally.
