I am thinking a stake out is on order!!! Can to join me!!?? Then we can stake out your iris'!!!!
Sorry to hear about your slug problem Bugs. I've put a couple of topics in my gardening tips that might help. Hope you get rid of the blighters soon.
Go out after dark with a flashlight and shine it on your plants. Lots of bugs, especially earwigs, do their chomping at night. For earwigs, mix one part veg. oil, one part soy sauce and l part molasses. Put in shallow containers among your plants. It worked for me. Dooley
