    Great suggestions in this thread.  I had slug infestation in my herb pot last autumn to a point they were even climbing into my partners ashtray and just last week I found a dried up slug on the welcome mat! 

    I'm surprised to hear salt didn't work as we put salt around the edges of the balcony and it seemed to have reduced them.

    Hi Witch sorry to call you that !!!  in an average garden you need around three as you can  easly move them around , they cover an area of around 8 ft radius and are made out of metal so they will be around for a long long time ,after around five days as recommended you just move them to other parts of your garden,so simple and they protect pets and wild life too. the complete solution for our weather. and as a gardener I was feed up with  slugs eating my hard work away !!!!! so I came up with this Invention.thank you
