Slugs can easily settle in a greenhouse.

At the same time, they gnaw off the leaves of the plantings, which leads to a lag in the development of the entire plant. In addition, when such pests crawl on fruits or green mass, then such plants cannot be eaten, since slugs spread infection.

Therefore, as soon as such pests are discovered on the site, it is necessary to immediately begin to fight them.

Methods of struggle

If there are few of them, you can collect the slugs manually and then destroy them or take them outside the area. You can also plant flowers around the perimeter, which will repel these parasites with their aroma.

But if there are too many pests, you will have to use chemicals. Preference should be given to those products whose packaging states that they are safe for human health and the environment.

Experts say that you should pay attention to:

1. "Slug-eater". The preparation penetrates the skin of pests and kills them. The product should be used in the evening, when slugs are more active.

2. "Groza Meta". You will have to use the product three times to get rid of slugs. The fact is that the granules have a negative effect on the digestive system of mollusks.

3. "Ferramol". A safe product with a not very pleasant smell, but the manufacturer guarantees the effectiveness of the drug.
