Do you have the same slugs there as we do here (N.C.)? I have never had any 
predation problems
from them that I am aware of. They range in size from 1 1/2" to 3" and are 
mostly grey stiped.

Temperatures here range from 0 F. to 105 F. We do not have excessive rainfall 
and often have
2 to 6 weeks of drought.
