In order to properly solve the slug problem, it is better to combine several methods.
In this case, the likelihood that pests will leave the area increases significantly.
What tricks will help to drive away slugs?
Cayenne pepper
Even if you don't like spicy food, you should buy a few packets of cayenne pepper. This spice is the hottest you can find without much difficulty.
Cayenne pepper is even hotter than chili, which is fatal to slugs, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert in the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.
Ash
This product will be an excellent material for high-quality mulching of the garden, bringing maximum benefit to the plants. Ash can be mixed with pine needles and eggshells for even greater efficiency.
Raised beds
Many summer residents have noted that the use of high beds significantly reduces the number of slugs on the site. However, this method is good to combine with others to obtain a stable positive result.
