Answer 1

It, very well, could be a slug! It can be very difficult to say without catching the culprit in the act.

I would advise trying multiple methods of control until you can pin down, for certain, what is causing the damage.

Here are some articles that will help:

Answer 2

Thank you so much for all the advice. I am just now getting back and on task and will use them as soon as tonight. Making that hot pepper mix to use tomorrow and trying to get a toad to eat the potential slug!
