    Hi Everyone,

    I'm posting this thread to give you all the link for a really good website. The other day we discovered that we have a bad slug & earwig problem. I was familiar with the damage that earwigs do, but have never really had a slug problem before. However we have had a lot of rain this year - ergo slugs and earwigs abound.

    I found a very good website: Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) - lots of good info there. Provides info about their life cycles, breeding habits, preferred food and habitat and multiple methods of eradication (including non-chemical).

    The link for slug info is http://www.pmra-arla.gc.ca/english/consum/slugsandsnails-e.html ,

    and the link for earwig info is http://www.pmra-arla.gc.ca/english/consum/earwigs-e.html .

    They have an alphabetical listing that also includes legislation, registration, other agencies, lawn care, etc.
