I have been using a 1% iron phosphate dry preparation known as Escar-Go
since Spring, 2007 in an outdoor setting. I haven't seen a slug since.

For the past three years, I have used one HAV-A-HART trap placed
strategically between my orchids and tomato plants. It works.
When I trap a squirrel, I take it LIVE to a cemetery where I release it.
Many nut trees.
I also have a terrier who often sleeps near the trap. Good
deterrent.
Does anyone know of any blooming size or near blooming size sources of this
genus? I am also looking for information. My old Hawkes Encyclopedia
of Cultivated Orchids outdid the internet!! The internet using Google was
of no use to me today.
