Starbucks ...Coffee grounds can be a good deterrent. Starbucks has free used grounds available in their shops (in a container at the back). They are also good at keeping rabbits away too. Plus good for plants. Geez, when I think of all the coffee grounds I've dumped . . . . . bummer! Good luck! Slugs are OK and are normally found just about everywhere, it's when they start eating your plants that it's a problem.Momma Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082502507626151251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3278444853313965899.post-5325304766421312682008-08-14T13:22:00.000-04:002008-08-14T13:22:00.000-04:00kirsten - I will definitely have to look in that c...kirsten - I will definitely have to look in that copper tape idea! I tried the beer thing before and it didn't seem to work - no slugs the next day in the beer. Maybe I should try it again though. But is that method effective if you have LOTS of them over a large yard?<BR/><BR/>indykari - Yes very exciting - glad to hear the cars next to it were ok other than the soot! Kudos on riding your bike it - I would love to be able to do that - but we live a tad too far away for that.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08381103120658976286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3278444853313965899.post-31050641547723864442008-08-14T11:27:00.000-04:002008-08-14T11:27:00.000-04:00What a site that was I'm sure!

My coworkers and I park in the Conseco garage but I choose this morning as the day to break my near-2 week bike riding hiatus and I 2 wheeled it to downtown. But you can imagine the fire was all the buzz around the office, sounds as if it was isolated to one car on the 2nd floor and the others are only covered in a nice layer of soot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3278444853313965899.post-66826775979101543352008-08-14T11:21:00.000-04:002008-08-14T11:21:00.000-04:00Snails can't cross copper.
