Slugs are a favorite food of opossums. We have them around in the Villages. They feed at night. My slug population was out of control a few years back and then one day I saw a baby opossum walking by my lanai and as awoke from my nap and I asked him what he was doing out in the afternoon. Since opossums can’t see that well in daylight he stopped, rose up on two feet, looked at me with squinted eyes and then plopped down on all fours and ambled off. Obviously there were adults around. Anyway, my slug population is way down. I only see a few now. Then again my yard is filled with trees, shrubs, native plants, flowers and wood bark mulch. Having some hiding places available attracts wildlife. So my advice is to get an opossum!
