I go out every night with a salt shaker and a spade. They’re nocturnal and live near drains and gutters, and also on the underside of pots and such. It helps to be consistent, but I also have a very small plot to work with, so YMMV.
I just don't know how they know they're there! How do they know it's worth climbing, at the rate of a gott dang slug, up to the second story of this building?? There's so much plant matter they could be eating downstairs! They're fuckin' obsessed I tell you hwut
I get that they can smell it but it just seems like an awful long way to go especially when there's stuff they could eat downstairs that doesn't require the equivalent of a hundred mile journey and crawling over concrete
