They are hard to beat. I've tried diluted Murphy's oil soap with some success, and diatomaceous earth(DE). Those parasitic wasps like to eat those worms, I think. Our onions and carrots are blooming, and it seems to be attracting the "good" bugs. I catch the white nuisance butterflies and feed them to the turtle. :) <br /><br />I threw in the towel with kitchen remedies for slug and snail control, and now use Sluggo with great success.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356420873078531863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1056808101254148028.post-67064386000012891022012-05-04T09:40:07.735-07:002012-05-04T09:40:07.735-07:00Raeann, I LOVE these tips.

If it dries out enough today I'm on the mower to collect some of my favorite free weed suppressor. Love the place and your blog.

They don't survive here because of predation by the coyotes. (I have to really watch my cats and chickens!)It could be mice or rats, though, since it is so close to the chicken house and the compost bin. I have seen a couple of 'runs' under the soil. Hope it's not rats! Hubby trapped 40 one summer! He has other things to do this season! :~}<br />Thanks for visiting!Lady Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478162101957028151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1056808101254148028.post-18263316279271652012012-05-01T21:36:17.216-07:002012-05-01T21:36:17.216-07:00That is a good idea with the paper rolls!
