Id thought of wrapping the trunks with cloth and putting grease or Vaseline on the cloths (stops ants – thought this might work with other climbers or slugs). Any suggestions?
Our guess is slugs, although it could be anything. If you will put some beer in a tuna can (or mayonnaise jar top) and set it next to the plant in the evening, in the morning the dead slugs will be floating in it and you can tell if you have slugs that way. R: If the Slugs are under 21 years of age can I get in trouble for serving them alcohol? Thank you for the info. I’ll take a chance that they are older Slugs – if our Tampa Bay area rain ever stops. I was thinking of twist-tying a gauze pad to the trunk(s) of the plant with Vaseline on the part of the gauze not touching the plant (because it is a petroleum based product) – as a sort of sticky trap, a gooey barrier, slugs would not want to crawl over. Ever heard of this idea? Could it work (if the slugs are still ‘staggering’ up the plant – after the beer) ? ? R: We’ve never heard of the gauze idea. The slugs will not survive the beer. Guaranteed. R: Probably because I thought it up myself. Was just wondering if you had ever heard of
