You could try beer traps or just hand removing them as already mentioned. Safest and the least harmful to you and the plants. Not sure why they are attracted to the Lilly in particular.

I hate to pick them off, they feel so.......well you know, slimy!!! <br /><br />Meanwhile the lilies are trying hard, the roses are beautiful, and I bet the countryside is pretty with the showers.<br /><br />We've been enjoying less humidity this Summer so far - but still hot. Fri. we head West for 2 weeks - Calif., Utah, Wyoming, Montana etc. - hopefully we'll have nice weather.<br /><br />Heidi dear, tomorrow, you and mom will be in my thoughts and prayers. I'm taking the laptop so will be checking in with you where WI-FI is available.<br /><br />Hugs - Mary, Bob and Jasmin.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147410299194282171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705614339233542950.post-34987172195190027992009-07-21T05:36:23.396-07:002009-07-21T05:36:23.396-07:00The roses are beautiful!

Thankfully my TN slugs are much smaller than yours in Holland. One way to get rid of them is to put beer (use the really cheap kind)in a saucer or a plastic margarine type container with a lid. Cut a hole in the lid. The slugs are attracted to the beer and drown. At least they will go with a smile on their faces!DonnaTNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16632155244794417553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705614339233542950.post-80957434690536987402009-07-20T18:52:54.257-07:002009-07-20T18:52:54.257-07:00Your roses are so pretty.
