Slugs are one of the most dangerous "visitors" to our plot, as they quickly destroy the harvest.
Therefore, many try to use all possible methods to prevent the visit of such unwanted "guests".
To do this, the perimeter of the plot is often sprinkled with hot spices, mustard or eggshells to make it difficult for slugs to get through. However, this is not always enough, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.
There is one interesting way that will help you take control of the situation.
How to Get Rid of Slugs with Beer
Many have heard that pests are weak to foamy drinks: they are literally attracted to them. This feature of slugs can be safely used to your advantage.
To do this, you need to collect containers and pour some beer into them.
The slugs will get caught in the traps, but they won't be able to get out. All you have to do is collect them and do as you please.
But if you don’t want to spend money on beer for the sake of slugs
The good news is that you can make a more budget-friendly version of the drink that will work just like beer.
To do this, you will need to take two glasses of warm water and add two spoons of regular flour, one spoon of sugar and a little dry yeast (about half a small spoon).
This method also has good results.
