These are frequently injurious to vegetation, particularly under moist conditions. 



<.'nntrnl. Trapping by placing out shingles or boards is quite effective. Examine 

 the traps every morning and crush the slugs collected under them. Liming the soil

 rery effective and does not injure the plants.
