Walking in the night, the group of people, dogs, cats and parrots went to the vegetable garden.

The night was not good tonight, the sky was covered with clouds and dark, and the moon was not visible.

Xiao Wang shook his tail a little uneasy, ran two steps to Lao Wang, looked up at him with his head, his expression very unique.

"Mad, you are afraid at night? Are you a descendant of a lion and a tiger?" Wang Bo was so angry that he was. Why did Xiao Wang become more bold and smaller?

Bo Dad looked at the sky and said, "It's really scary on this kind of night. There's probably a storm. Hurry up and grab the slugs. If it rains, they will be arrogant."

Bo Ma said: "What I fear most is the strong wind. They lay eggs on leaves. Once they are blown away, they will be filled with slugs."

The slugs seem to be very weak, but in fact they are insects with super survivability.

Only drought weather and hot sunlight are their natural enemies, and nothing else in nature can threaten them.

In addition, they are very resistant to hunger and thirst and can survive for a long time without eating or unhealthy food.

Don’t look at the small slugs, a slug can harm vegetables dozens of times larger than itself in one night. It can be said that “when eating, you can take the whole way and eat it all the way.”

Bo Dad said to him: "At that time, our cucumber field had to have two acres, but hundreds of slugs were all in a few days."

"The worst thing is the leek field of Lao Liu's family, which was confiscated by slugs for a year."

Wang Bo said in surprise: "They are so powerful?"

Bo's mother said: "Your father likes to exaggerate now. He didn't make it clear. The leeks sold for leaves. The leaves are incomplete and there are insect eyes. No one bought them. The leeks from your sixth uncle's house were gnawed and they couldn't be sold at all."

Wang Bo hesitated for a moment and said, "Then like this, why don't we put pesticides on it, our vegetable field is too big."

In specialized agricultural vegetable fields, pesticides can only be used to extinguish pests on a large scale.

Bo Dad disagreed: "We supply our vegetable garden to our family. What we want is pollution-free and pure natural. What vegetables are we doing?"

“Organic vegetables.”

"Oh, yes, organic vegetables, we can't use pesticides, but pesticides will become inorganic vegetables."

Lao Wang was shocked by his father's ability to create nouns: Dad, you are really my father!

It is not easy to use pesticides to kill insects in New Zealand. Pesticide stores that are common on rural streets in China are prohibited in New Zealand. It is more difficult to buy pesticides than to buy antibiotics.

Wang Bo lamented: "Dad, you really plan to use all the land to catch insects by hand? Even if you want to catch insects, you have to call all the helpers, right?"

Even if you have the heart to manage the vegetable garden, you still need someone to help.

Bo Dad and Bo Mom were responsible for managing the vegetable garden. In addition, Wang Bo hired more than 20 helpers for them, specifically used to produce vegetables. Otherwise, relying solely on the two elders would be able to break their old bones.

Bo's mother said, "Don't show this bear. What did mom tell you when she was a child? The farm work you do is less and less. Besides, there are not many insects. Not all the vegetable fields have slugs, but there are cabbage fields."

Wang Bo recalled and wanted to estimate the area of ​​the small cabbage field, but he hadn't come to the vegetable garden for too long. At most, he would control it from the sand table and he didn't have the impression of the small cabbage field in his mind.

This vegetable field is located in the southeast corner of the vegetable garden. It is obvious that the slugs appeared here. Fortunately, Bo Dad and Bo Mom were diligent and checked every day, and then they found the slugs.

The area of ​​the small cabbage field is small in the vegetable field, but it looks like a dozen acres. Wang Bo shook his head, which led to a protracted battle.

Catching insects is done by hand. Bo Dad took some small plastic buckets and sprinkled with edible salt. In this way, he caught the slugs and threw them in. They would soon lose water and die of death.

Slugs are similar to snails without shells. They have mucus on their bodies and are filled with a lot of liquid. They are afraid of high temperature and light, but they are afraid of water loss.

There are many ways to make them lose water. In addition to high-temperature light, dehydration with desiccant is also a way. There is no desiccant in the castle, and Bo Dad prepared salt, which is also effective.

Everyone wore a hat with a headlight on their head and started catching bugs in disposable rubber gloves.

The little loli giggled excitedly after dressing up: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, look, I've become a miner."

Wang Bo praised: "Where did this beautiful little miner come from? Come and go to the mine with your brother-in-law..."

Bo Dad glared at him angrily and said, "How old is he? Why do you speak so casually?"

Wang Bo was puzzled and then recalled his words. It seemed that there was indeed some ambiguity, but the little loli didn't pay attention and was still tidying up the headlights there to want to be beautiful.

Several people scattered, and the young president quickly laughed and said, "Look, I caught two, they stayed together."

The two slugs were stacked up and down, and Lao Wang shook his head. The naughty child, Made, didn't know how bad things he had done. The slugs must have hated him to death, and they were mateing.

You can see the slug by lifting the leaves of the cabbage. It is easy to find that the mucus on the surface of the slug will reflect and the light shines on it.

Wang Bo quickly caught more than ten people and threw them into the bucket. There was no shell protection. The slugs were quickly dehydrated after being contaminated with salt. Once they were dehydrated too much, they would die.

But this was too inefficient. He swept for a while and stood up, took out his cell phone and started asking for help online.

Google searches for how to deal with slugs, the first answer comes out is drug confrontation.

There is a drug called Slugbait in New Zealand, which is cheap and can be bought in many supermarkets.

Wang Bo suddenly felt excited. He read the introduction and said that this thing is very effective against slugs.

However, because of its low toxicity, this thing can only numb the snails and prevent them from moving for several hours, but it cannot kill them. There is no way. In New Zealand, low toxic and highly efficient pesticides do not exist.

There are many methods circulating on the Internet. Wang Bo started to read it and couldn't help laughing.

Among the methods online, some say that a cup is buried in the land next to the plant and pour beer or sugar water into it to attract slugs to fall into it and drown.

There is another way to say that coffee grounds are poured on the edge of the plant, and the slug will cause caffeine poisoning and die of death.

There is even a way to create a dark and humid environment, and wait until dawn to attract slugs to crawl in, and then catch them all in one go...

Seeing this, Lao Wang couldn't help laughing. The New Zealanders are so funny and cute. Just catching a bug makes it look like catching a spy. What are the ideas for this!

He read it out for everyone, and everyone laughed. After laughing, the sky began to fall from rain.

Seeing this, Bo Dad and Bo Mom couldn't laugh anymore.
