Sit in the car and start having one of your rants. The poor bloody thing will soon scarper or lose the will to live and kill itself. 

It appears I have arrived too late with the ultimate solution

 

 

This is the before picture.  Where's the after picture?

It aint a pretty sight. Last farm I worked on the 'tied' bungalow we lived in, the mice could get up from below the floor by the kitchen sink. I used to put traps down and occasionally a slug would get on there and set it off.

Looks like a slimy gherkin.

point taken " no tasting please "

Just been out in the garden, I think its going to be another slug year. A 4" one on the terrace, lots of slime trails.

DRRRDU! - DRRRDU! - D D D D - DRRRDU!!!! You have been warned.

If you think slugs are bad, try hunting for asparagus beetle larva (maggots) they stick themselves to the plant. The only way to get rid is to squash them between your fingers. You feel the bodies squelch, then you have to get rid of the sticky green goo on your fingers.

You know it's only partially digested asparagus, but ugh, its green and slimy, makes me gag.

Just the start of the effects of worble gloaming. We need winters!

I've got aphids on me roses and me rhubarb isn't looking very good.

I've seen some massive snails wandering around the garden (for a bog standard garden snail).

Just been out on 'slug patrol', lifted the old loose fitting carpet mat up off the new rubber one, and there was evidence of 'something squash', and further forward what looked like an owld piece of twig. 

 

Have I had my revenge?

No snot trails.

 

Hows Grich doing btw?

 

Absolutely hundreds (no exaggeration) whilst out on my hill walk again last night btw. , and that was just the ones I could see and was stepping over.

How many in the undergrowth Lord only knows.

I could almost hear the slithery sound from them.

Staggering.

No luck yet im afraid. It was investigating my traction control button last night. So its navigated from the parcel shelf to the front. Im dreading changing gear and it being sat on the stick. Either that or it perching itself on the needles in my dials. Now that would be horrific!

You need to grow some balls too then mate. 

It's only a slug! 

 

Laughable.....UNTIL you've got one in YOUR car ey?

 

Any evidence of it having slithered across the carpet?

From my 'studies', these creatures tend to move around the same sort of area constantly, but only after dark indoors.

Lift all the mats up, and check under the seats, in fact, anywhere where you think it could be hiding....diffficult I know.

 

Close the air vents and blast the air con on to freeze the t***  to death IF it's slid into an air vent.

 

I feel for you anyway matey, because I understand..

Bit of banter, yes,(been some great humourous posts as you'd expect)  but bloody rudeness.........................

If they only work in the dark... Whip a blanket over the car for an hour... Then whip it off quick and catch him red handed

Double post - sorry, dodgey signal.

It's the end, the four slugs of the Apocalypse

I've seen stuff in my 28 years of Farm work that'll make you puke so don't think I'm into fluffy bunnies TBH. Was making a tongue in cheek comment from my observations that most of your threads/posts tend to be moaning about something or other. True to form you took it the wrong way. Not exactly a big surprise 

Will be pulling various bits out of my car tomorrow when I finish work. I wonder if it knows its raining outside. Im going to check right now. Hope to find the blighter!

No luck. Even let swmbo nip to the shop in it to see if it would scare the slug into making its way to the handbrake but no joy. Out comes the toolbox tomorrow. That car is getting stripped.

Tried driving fast to scare it?

Maybe it's in the car because it's a frustrated speed freak?

Swmbo constantly thinks shes italian. Well by the standard of her driving you would think so. Dont think shes worked out what the larger pedal is for yet.

Any fresh slobber trails though Grinch?

 

None in mine, but I'm not convinced the beast has gone.

Considering taking the seats out.to see if it's hiding underneath it.

I this a wind up lol

 

 

 

Seriously now I reckon like two tiny slug pellets, these things have one hell of a hooter, put them on a bit of cardboard in the foot well, it won't make it off the cardboard.

If you must hunt it, one of those circuitboard freezer sprays would be more use than your old asagai. Plus a frozen mollusc is less gruesome to wiggle out of the wiring - especially if you're lying on your back staring up at the back of the dash with the danger of it dropping on your boat.
