Slug Bugs!

The leaves on my outdoor plants are being eaten by something other than a caterpillar! I have sprayed them all with Neem and an organic caterpillar killer, made sure I got the under-side of the leaves and everything.

Didn't work. :evil:

I think it's snails or slugs because I see silvery trails along the trunk and bottom leaves. Please don't tell me it's some kind of wild hybrid weed eatin bug that I can't get rid of. They've only been outside since the second week of February.

Help! :cry:

i wrap steel wool around the stalk, they wont climb over it. Make sure none of your branches are touching other plants the slugs can get too.

this is what you need copper wire

Copper wire will do the trick wind some around the bottom of the stalk and they will not cross it. I have used it for a few years on my outdoor and no problems. Stops snails too! You can buy a mesh like I use from these guys 14$ for 25 feet, it expands as the stalk gets bigger.
