7 Simple
Slug
Control Methods
Handpicking
:
Regularly remove slugs by hand and dispose of them away from your garden.
Copper Barriers
:
Place copper tape or wire around plants; slugs are repelled by the electric charge it creates.
Beer Traps
:
Sink shallow containers of beer into the soil; slugs are attracted to the beer and drown.
Diatomaceous Earth:
Sprinkle this natural powder around plants; it damages slugs' bodies, causing them to dry out.
Eggshell Mulch
:
Crushed eggshells create an abrasive surface slugs avoid crossing.
Natural Predators:
Encourage birds, frogs, and beneficial insects that feed on slugs.
Salt Barriers:
Create barriers with salt sparingly; direct contact with salt is harmful to slugs.
