I found this online today while checking for different types of Bug Eggs. I found some unusually large eggs under some tarp and some wood that I used to hold down the tarp. There appeared to be about 40+ eggs per pile and I did not know if they were snake eggs or what? I learned that they are slug eggs!!! So, I gathered up about 160 slug eggs today and disposed of them before they hatch into ravenous slugs. UGH! Anyways, here is the link to the PDF
Book of Bugs, how to attract them and how to get rid of them without harming the environment.
So, anyways, what I read was that it can be hard to find slug eggs as they tend to lay them in areas that they feel are very hidden and secure. But today was garden clean up day. We were getting things ready for next spring. I was picking up boards and things that I use to secure the tarps when I cover the garden beds, and the wood also helps to keep weeds from getting too close to the corn patch so that it is easier to mow around by picking up those boards and blocks of wood just before mowing. Based on what I read, as soon as they hatch, they start devouring plants, so that is at least 160 less slugs this year!
