They are way too HUGE! Never seen anything like them before nor do am I interested in seeing them live, especially around my orchids!!! But, yes. I too have problem with slugs and I most of the time end up doing the mexican hat dance Recently one of my friends told me that we can use common salt on them, which I did try and they died within a couple of minutes. Now, my question is how safe is the salt on orchids? Have anybody tried this out? I tried putting coffee grounds from the coffee maker, but am not sure of the impact. This year has been very bad with very low monsoon rains in Bangalore, and so do not see a lot slugs, atleast not yet. But once the rains start, I will start to see more of them. They have already eaten of atleast a couple of spikes of my oncidium hybrids
