• Probably around 10pm, as that's when we usually go to bed. But I've also done it earlier / later.

    I heard it on GQT I think and was surprised at how affective it was. You get faster at spotting them too, which is good as ultimately its the babies you need to get because they grow up and become big slugs.

    Just try and go hard at it for 5 consecutive nights.

    Sam_w's point about a species gap as we have loads more snails this year.

    Also if anyone doesn't have a head torch, this Sofirn SP40 is fucking great, and great value. Grab a set of the little 18350 batteries at the same time:

    (there are other colours and Ks of light)

  • I've seen some monster slugs in our garden around that time, so yeah, guess I'll just grab them put them in a container then release them in the park.
