So.... here's a problem I have not seen mentioned on this board. I have a Genesis 310(?) that I keep on my patio year-round. It sits under a 6' x 8' canopy and is also covered by a canvas grill cover when not in use. Even though I live in rainy Seattle, the grill stays dry year-round. I opened my grille today to fine a gazillion slug trails on then underside of the hood and slug slime across the grates, but I didn't see any actual slugs. I turned on all the burners and heated the grill to about 650 degrees for 20 minutes to kill of any residual slug stuff. Now I need to figure out (1) where the slugs are gaining access and (2)how to stop it in the future.
Since I live in Seattle, slugs are nothing new here. I just never figured a grill was a popular hangout. They must crawl over the casters, up the outside and then into the hood and grate area. Tonight, I'm going to leave a small plate of stale beer by the grill and see if that works. We've used that trick to keep them out of the garden and it works. They drink the beer and die from drowning in their own beer... literally.
Has anybody else out there experienced a problem with slugs? If so, what did you do?
