guess what i trapped?

after finally cracking under the constant nibbling of seedlings in my greenhouse, I decided to buy a trap to get rid of the problem mouse that has taken residence. (not usually into harming fauna, but there is a limit!)

i set the trap up yesterday evening with a dried pea as bait, returned this morning to find the trap had been sprung and in it A HUGE BLACK SLUG.

the mouse was probably laughing at me as i tried to remove slimy remains from my nice new trap. now have slug pellets around the trap to stop them eating the bait.

I feel that I am begining to be a little obsessive about this, anyone else had this kind of problem?

I've lost seedlings to slugs this year and have found evidence of a past (but recent) presence in the shed.

Best trapping - squirrel in the water butt fooled by the duckweed. Unfortunately rather slimy and squishy by the time I found it (squeals like a girl, goes shaky and refuses to throw up - i am a nurse I have a professional rep to maintain)
