I recently pulled up some old boards in the yard and found slug eggs. For those of you who aren't familiar with slug eggs, they are a little smaller than a b-b, and translucent white. They are in clusters. It is difficult to squash them, since they pop between your fingers or stick to your garden gloves...besides, it's pretty labor intensive.

I decided to pour salt on them and watch the results. Salt on the slugs turned them immediately fluorescent green and then to goo. However, the slug eggs seemed to be staying intact. I left them for about a half hour, then came back to check the results.... the salt was melting, but the eggs looked unharmed!

I think any eggs exposed to the frost will perish, but I'd rather not take the chance. Does anyone know of something that I can spray or pour over slug eggs to kill them?
