OK, sorry, I've been a smart arse. The top link refers to a free article (called Down and dirty with banana slugs: UCSC researcher studies sex-crazed creature’s bizarre mating habits) from which I copied and pasted an extract.
The bottom link is to a page of the British Library refering to an article entitled "UNDERSTANDING THE HORMONAL PHYSIOLOGY OF REPRODUCTION IN SLUGS AS A BASIS FOR POTENTIAL NOVEL CONTROL METHODS", which the British Library mistakenly thinks I will happily part of a fiver to read.

I can't really think why your computer has blocked it, Ina. It's a link to a cartoon. Nor can I think why your reply has tripped the spam filter - I thought that only happened when words like c a s i n o and o n l i n e b e t t i n g were used.
I shall rather naughtily hotlink to it and see if that works for you

I wondered if using mypex with sand superglued on the other side would work as a no dig and no slug method?
Put egg shells around your plants - we had that one yet?

You get that too? My chooks ignore slugs that are on boards or anything like that... I'm left jumping up an down as the slugs slowly ooze their way back under the board, shouting "Look! Look there! IT'S GETTING AWAY YOU DOZY BIRDS!"
Check this out. It's gross.
