I did read somewhere that snails have a homing instinct and will return to their "patch" if displaced. Whether the same is true for slugs, I've no idea.

Quick check says Yes, they do have a homing instinct. And they'll follow old trails.

Did you know?
Slugs can move at 30 to 150 feet per hour.

Anyways, bed time. Sleep needed.

Nearly 4 weeks since I came off, still don't feel my back would survive a ride yet, I'm missing not getting out

I tried that, but all I could see was my mantlepiece.

That's posh ! I've just got a moustache!

They tagged the snails in the study with nail varnish.

Would that work on slugs?

Tippex, or maybe salt? 🤔

Geoff Hamilton, that gardening chap who used to be on the BBC said the best way to use slug pellets is to throw a handful over the fence into your neighbour's garden!

Ooops! Sorry mate! I won't do it again...

Do you work for the BBC? They did that to me last week. I'm not too fussed if I hear the result beforehand like some other people. Sometimes it can ease the suspense.

He wasn't the only one to say that. Are they banned now?

Morning.
It rained quite a lot in the night . There are a few large puddles outside.
I have just been downstairs to make some more . On the way downstairs Schrodie made me do some exercises. Cat Aerobics! He insisted on laying down 3 steps below me and rubbed his head against my foot whilst I had to bend over and stroke him. I also had to stop him from rolling off the step .
That's enough exercising for the day .

Yep, snails... Hopefully not slugs!

I never use slug pellets. We have resident hedgehogs 🦔 🦔

You can still buy them. Maybe the formula is different, though, but they're on the shelves next to the ant powder and weedkiller..
