Tarpaper for slugs?

May 19, 2004 1 Replies

A friend recommended I use tarpaper collars around my plants to ward off banana slugs (rapicious little buggers here in N. California).



Any comments on the effectiveness of this? Anyone tried it?



I know about beer traps by the way. And I will not use metaldehyde.



cheers

I've been using the iron phosphate slug killer this year, and so far so good. It looks a lot better than tarpaper.
