Hmmm ...

Brent,  your posted comment "... eggs or juveniles ..." etc.,  jogged my 
memory .
i've an idea what might be working here ...  caffeine !
you can read an ancient CH posting of mine, [CH] slightly OT: Coffee 
breaks slugs ,
at http://www.globalgarden.com/Chile-Heads/Archives/vol.200203/1566.html

caffeine seems to be fairly toxic, to a variety of creatures.
and anything is prolly better than giving money to the SOB's at Monsanto.
someone told me that caffeine is very soluble in plain water ... izat-true ?
