I enacted a genocidal abortion campaign upon those GODDAMNED slug eggs.

If you ever gardened vegetables, (or if you've read my post last year) you know that slugs are miserable little shits...

Those greedy fucks will decimate your crops if you don't bring them the pain.

Well luckily for me and the veggies, I found TONS of these:

A handful of small, pearly slug eggs
SLUG EGGS!

Slug eggs are irregular in shape and size. They are very fragile.
A closer look...
Slugs are always defenseless, and they die whenever and wherever I find them. But this was a fucking massacre- I found a horde of their little-shit eggs. Slugs, being utter morons, laid them in the bare dirt of the garden.

For your reference, this is what they look like when laid in soil (not unlike the little fertilizer balls some soil sellers include in their mixes)

Slug egg in the dirt, looks like a pearl but it's filled with fluid.
A mf-ing slug egg in the dirt, waiting to hatch
GET FUCKING SMOOSHED!
Have you ever seen those little balls of evil, partially buried in the soil?


Keep an eye out for them! Whenever I see them, I carefully pick them out, and used a big fucking rock to end them all in a mess of shells and gunk.
A collection of gunky, shattered slug eggs. Good riddance.
FUCK SLUGS! fuck them to death!!


I'm sure a good number escaped the holy plague of destruction that Dad and I brought down upon them... But dad said we'd buy some diatomaceous earth this weekend and sprinkle it around the edges to make sure that any who have the audacity to hatch are met with a hideous death the moment they venture out into the deadly soil.

We also found lots and lots of snails. We walked around with sheers and chopped them into pieces. 

Here's just one picture showing how incredibly frequent these little monsters can be:
Three snails in a space that would fit just about fit under a silver dollar.

Today we wiped out probably ~20 snails, and ~30 eggs.
A decisive victory, the battle in our favor. But... We all know there are hundreds more throughout the yard, hiding in the grass. 
Dad's plan to treat the soil with diatomaceous earth WILL be the next step in this campaign. 


Anyway... Slugs be damned. Snails can go straight to hell with them. 

We fucking wasted the slug population- and we didn't even need the infinity stones to do it.
