Slugs are eaten by chickens, birds, hedgehogs and frogs.

You can make a small pond on the site and introduce frogs that will feed on slugs.

To get rid of slugs, you can dig up the beds, the predators will come to the surface, and the birds will quickly eat the slugs when they see them. You can collect the slugs in a trap.

In the spring, spread them out on the beds, and when the soil dries out, lift the piles and you will see the snails and get rid of them.

Slugs hate lime and chalky soil.

Therefore, it is worth sprinkling the ground with lime - and the slugs will die.

Lime and dolomite flour can be added to the soil during autumn digging.

Or divide it into two stages: one in the fall and one in the spring.

That's it, slugs won't bother you anymore!
