Slugs are quite unpleasant garden pests.

That is why summer residents and gardeners are constantly looking for effective methods to get rid of them.

We figure out what to do to prevent anyone from encroaching on your plantings.

Slug Control

In hot weather, slugs hide from the sun, but in rainy weather they can multiply so much that you may not notice how they fill the garden.

Firstly, the poison bait shows its effectiveness; after eating it, the pest dies.

You can also create a barrier strip from wood ash, eggshells, lime or ground superphosphate.

By the way, wood ash can be used in another way: experienced gardeners dust plants with the powder. Ground hot pepper and mustard are also suitable for dusting.

You can also attract pests with artificial traps, such as cardboard shelters, under which slugs will hide from the sun.
