Slugs damage plants in the garden. In this article, we will tell you how to effectively get rid of pests.
The reasons for their massive appearance on the site may be favorable weather conditions: warm and humid spring, rainy summer, and long autumn, mild winter.
Also, the transfer of living individuals or eggs from one area to another when transplanting plants.
In addition, slugs love waterlogged soil and close proximity to groundwater.
The most effective and safe way to control slugs is to use bait traps.
Take small rags, soak them in dried fruit compote or beer and place them on the paths.
On a bright sunny day, all the slugs will gather under these rags.
A natural, free slug repellent is crushed eggshells or nut shells scattered around the plants.
Mollusks cannot crawl on such a surface. Slugs avoid leaves of tomato, marjoram, and oregano.
Garlic, thyme, and sage also repel them.
