[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 689039, member: 539"] The usual assortment - aphids, tomato worms, Japanese beetles, etc. I tend to treat with a concoction made of soaking a Skoal Bandit or two soaked in warm water until the water turns a murky brown color, transferring it to a sprayer, and spraying the evil doers with it. Be advised that this concoction will kill any bug it touches, so be careful to not spray lady bugs, walking sticks, praying mantises, or any other beneficial bug. Another option is using insecticidal soap, I don't think it's quite as non-descriminatory as the concoction mentioned earlier. For slugs, wash out and fill a cat food/tuna can with a cheap beer and bury it so the lip is at ground level. In the morning you will have a can full of slugs, and can either empty and reuse, or dispose of it - whichever you prefer. [/QUOTE]
