Slugs

Post by Skub »

This is a new one for me. :crazy:

I came out to the bike a couple of days ago and there were slug slime trails over various surfaces. Man they were a twat to remove. If I'd left them another day or so I think they'd have etched into the paintwork. :shock:

Next day the little snottery khunts had been busy again,cue more panic induced scrubbing.

Last night I got busy with the table salt and administered some punitive justice around the outside of the garage and laid a circle of salt around the bike.

It'll be garlic bulbs,dancing naked and hexagrams next ffs.

Possibly the most vile creatures on the planet. 🤔 We have a family of yellow ones. They have taken up residency under the waterbut lid. When I feel like it, I turn the lid upside down and place on the lawn, so their predators can eat, but does seem they have none and they just slide to the underside, then I turn it over again and so on. After an hour or so, I replace the lid back on the water but, but one thing for sure, they ain't getting any of my beer. 🙂👍

Copper tape on the floor around the bike. Unless of course the slugs are living in the bike, in which case it fucked and I'll do you a favour and take it off your hands for £500

Probably an air-box infestation. Quite common in damp countries. Unfortunately the only way to sort it is to burn 'em out. :(

As a temporary solution I poured salt around the bike as it sat on the Abba stand,but it wasn't until I took the bike out I realised what I'd drawn. :shock:

Copper tape.

The latest technology in the war against the slimey bastids. At least it looks a bit better than a giant salt penis.
