Since slugs hide from the sun during the day, you may find it easier to collect them early in the morning or evening.

You can also make the habitat less hospitable to slugs.

Snails like moist, shady places and logs.

Therefore, try to remove fallen leaves, debris, wood, and old mulch from the garden.

Additionally, you can improve the air circulation in your garden.

To do this, you can divide the plants and create gaps between them.

This will help you create lower humidity levels in your garden.
