Please Nigel, ask Bill if he can send me a hundred of duck

I've tried some organical bait but does not work..... pics 1and2 shows good results with the old beer can trap!
In pic 3 I've tried a chemical bait... it works really well, but leaves a disgusting viewing and wastes on the ground... I don't like it too much......

The problems with baits in general is that there are too many bitches to catch.... you should do it on a daily basis, and I can't

This is the reason which I'd prefer using a repellent insted of placing traps.... pics 4 and 5 shows my personal "coffee waste method" - US patent n°2783983030***bipbip

it really works against snails and slugs! sometimes I find them on the edge of the plate, but never on the trunk: for some reason they don't pass through coffee waste

yes......... it could be another tiny kind of snail or slug..... the strange thing is that this f***ng critter is eaying a branch from the top and middle leaving other lower branches...... so I'm thinking that it can jump directly on that branch, not from the main trunk...
