Snails and Slugs
Slugs and Snails are gardener's worst nightmares. Impossible to get rid of once and for all, you need to keep up a constant battle to keep them under control.
It pays to know your slugs!
The Keeled Slug
The Garden Slug
The Black Slug
The Grey Field Slug
The most common and serious slug pest. Highly variable in colour (but usually light grey or fawn) it measures 3 cm (1.5 inches)

Grey in colour, with a ridge down the back they are generally larger than the Grey Field Slug (about 2.5 inches or 6 to 7 cm). On the whole they are regarded as mainly subterranean in behaviour, living and feeding under ground.
Similar in size to the grey field slug, but with a much tougher skin. Usually darker in colour (grey to black), with their underside a distinctive yellow, which also characterises their slime trail.
Measures up to 8 inches (20 cm) and is black in colour (but the young stages can be yellowish with dark tentacles). Due to its large size, its body volume to surface area ratio is far greater than the smaller slug species, making it less prone to desiccation (dehydration). Therefore, you are more likely to see this slug during the daytime.
