Creative Loafing: Slugs For The Snitches: Jul 29 - Aug 4, 2000
Shopping. slugs for the snitches Or how my friends got in trouble with the wrongcrowd in a Yuppifying neighborhood BY HOLLIS GILLESPIE 07/29/00. Scott Martin.
http://www.atlanta.creativeloafing.com/2000-07-29/cover.html

Extractions: BY HOLLIS GILLESPIE Scott Martin Honnie Goode peers through a window that she says her neighbor shot out. Even before all this happened, I told my neighbor Honnie Goode that if a bullet ever came through my window I'd be out of here faster than my feet could carry me. And even then I assumed the bullet would have been by accident, that somebody would have shot at someone else and my window just got in the way. "I swear," I said to Honnie, "I'd be gone. You'd see my legs spinning underneath me like a cartoon character." I don't remember what Honnie said next, but I wish I did because in the end a bullet didn't go through my window ... it went through hers. And it was no accident. Someone stood on the sidewalk in front of her house, aimed a gun at her living room window and pulled the trigger. Three times. The bullets ripped through the curtains and chipped the tile on one of the fireplaces inside the home Honnie shares with her husband, Todd Kitchens, and her mother, Bren Goode. "They didn't make much noise when they came through," says Bren of the bullets. "You'd think it would be louder than that."

Extractions: Slugs and Snails Home Description Lifecycle Prevention ... Health Canada Introduction Some gardeners consider slugs and snails to be beneficial because they feed on crop pests such as caterpillars and aphids. When slugs and snails invade vegetable or herb gardens, however, they can cause major damage, consuming up to forty percent of their weight. Slugs and snails attack seedlings, roots, tubers and young plants, leaving large jagged holes and sticky deposits mainly on the leaves of herbs and garden vegetables. Important Notices This website has been published by the Pest Management Regulatory Agency to provide homeowners and consumers with a relevant and useful resource regarding household pest management.

Extractions: Return to Garden Pests Page Printable Version ORGANIC SLUG AND SNAIL CONTROL © FRANCES MICHAELS If overnight newly planted seedlings are disappearing and there are large holes in your plants, the culprits are probably snails or slugs. Usually a close look at the plants will reveal the characteristic silvery trail. Snails and slugs are molluscs and need a moist environment to survive. They avoid the sun and come out mainly at night or on dark, cloudy days. They secrete mucous to move about and by using the same trail and sharing trails with other snails they save on mucous production. During cold or dry weather, snails can seal their shells, and remain dormant for several years. Australia has 6,000 species of native snails, none of which cause problems to garden plants. Some of our native species are carnivorous, feeding on garden snails. The common brown snail Helix aspera is an unwanted arrival from Europe. It can take from 4 months to 2 years to mature and may live 12 years. Snails are hermaphrodite and during the warmer months can lay several egg clusters. The clusters contain up to 100 white eggs, at a soil depth of 20-40 mm. Effective control of snails and slugs in the long term needs a combination of cultural, biological and chemical methods rather than relying on a single solution.

http://newdiets.com/Putter_Stories/Slugs_Stone_Steps.shtml

Extractions: Monday, June 11, 2001 5:29 PM Today I had to lead a La Leche League meeting at my friend Karen's house. I forgot totally about yesterday, although last week I remembered. I was only reminded today thanks to a mother calling me, bright and early, at 7:15 to ask for directions. So I gathered up Paloma, Putter and Mickey, dressed them respectably, rather than in summertime rags, and got them in the car. We stopped at McDonald's for hash browns for Putter and Paloma and coffee for me; Mickey had fallen back asleep (he had had that horror known as the Dreaded Seven P.M. Nap last night and I refuse to admit when he finally fell asleep for the night) so we got him nothing. Then we stopped to vacuum the car because Putter had spilled popcorn from Paloma's softball game on Saturday and I was embarrassed to be seen in public with a car that messy looking inside (I had gone to church with it like that the day before and was resolved to go nowhere else). Putter loves my friend Karen's house. It is over 100 years old and has lots of interesting landscaping and little stone walls and crooked stone steps leading from the driveway to the backyard. Mostly Putter just goes up and down the stone steps in an endless variety of Putter patterns. Karen's house has been a summer meeting location for LLL for years, ever since I have lived here and her first child was a little baby. Her house is fairly small so we usually have the meetings in her beautiful backyard.

Extractions: CHANDRA MEISSNER: The first slug that I put in my mouth, I popped it in and I was like, "Oh, my gosh, this is only one and I have nine more to go after this." I hadn't even started chewing it or even swallowing it. I felt it move around in my mouth and that just disgusted me. The slime was just building up and building up. And I found that, after I was popping my fifth one in, the pieces of it would get stuck in the slime that was in my mouth. So I was having a hard time swallowing it. So then I just started doing a different strategy. CHANDRA MEISSNER: This is so disgusting: I took two hard bites into it and then I felt the juice come out of the slug. And that was the juice that helped me throw it back in the back of my mouth. I would just push it in the back of my mouth and swallow. But then I got down to the very last one, the big one, and it was like biting into a rubber ball. It was just disgusting and it took forever to chew and get that one down. It was awful.
The Sea Slug Forum - Solar-powered Sea Slugs
Two quite different groups of sea slugs have evolved ways of using the abilityof plants to convert the sun's energy into sugars and other nutrients.
http://www.seaslugforum.net/solarpow.htm

Extractions: The herbivorous sacoglossans are suctorial feeders removing the cell sap from the algae on which they feed. In most, the cell contents are simply digested by the slug. Some species however have evolved branches of their gut which ramify throughout the body wall and contain plastids, which are the photosynthesising "factories" from the algae, alive and operating. In many cases these plastids are chloroplasts, but sacoglossans that feed on red and brown algae are also reported to keep the plastids from these algae alive as well. As I show elsewhere in the Forum, one species, Elysia cf furvacauda changes diet and plastid at least three times during its life history.

Extractions: Soft succulent growth including seedlings, young tender shoots, leaves and flowers are damaged or eaten, particularly in wet conditions. Underground parts of plants, especially potato tubers and tulip bulbs are tunneled by black keeled slugs ( Milax spp.). Slime trails may be visible. See also Snails Cause Slugs (various Arion, Milax and Deroceras species) can cause damage throughout the year but are particularly troublesome in the spring. Warmer weather combined with damp conditions greatly increases their activity. They vary in size and colour, which ranges from yellowish grey through shades of brown to black. Non-chemical control A biological control specific to slugs, with no adverse effect on other types of animal, is available in the form of a microscopic nematode or eelwom watered into the soil. The nematode ( Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita ) enters slugs' bodies and releases bacteria that cause a fatal disease. A moist soil and soil temperatures of 5-20

Extractions: Crops Urban ... Search IPM Damage Management Habitat Modification Barriers and Traps ... Baits Slugs are mollusks, related to oysters and clams. Slugs are referred to a "naked snails," as they possess no shell. Slugs lay clusters of translucent, pearly-shaped eggs under debris or buried beneath the soil surface. They can lay between 20 to 100 eggs several times per year, taking approximately two years for slugs to reach maturity. The gray garden slug Peroceras reticulatum , is the slug generally encountered in Illinois. It is approximately 3/4 to 1-1/2 inches long, ranging in color from pale yellow, lavender, to purple. In addition, they are covered with black or brown spots and mottling. Less commonly encountered is the great gray garden slug Limax maximus . It is up to 7 inches long and is yellow-gray to brown with black mottling. Click on image for larger version

http://www.diynet.com/DIY/article/0,2058,1283,00.html

Extractions: Slugs and snails can do major damage to tender garden plants. They usually feed at night and hide during the daylight hours. Snails and their shell-less relatives, slugs, are mollusks and are related to clams, mussels and oysters. The eggs of slugs and snails look like clusters of 1/8" pearls: if you find them under rocks, boards or pots, destroy them. A barrier strip of copper foil will also protect your plants, as snails and slugs are electrocuted when they come into contact with the metal. Be careful when installing copper foil: the edges are sharp ( figure A ). Copper foil costs about $1 a foot at nurseries and garden centers. Copper tape is also available, with adhesive on the back for easy installation. Prevent trailing plants from growing over the copper and creating a bridge for the snails to cross.
