How to defeat slugs: the most effective methods

Any summer resident understands that the appearance of slugs on the site is an extremely bad sign.

This means that you need to start fighting the insect immediately.

For this purpose, the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh recommends paying attention to the most effective methods.

What can you try?

Special powdering

It is well known that slugs are only weak to certain crops. Therefore, it is simply worth protecting them in a special way. Powdering will cope with this task perfectly.

Powdered mustard, tobacco dust or hot pepper are chosen as the main component.

Beer

An interesting fact is that this pest has a strong craving for alcoholic beverages. If you make traps where beer is used as bait, you will solve the slug problem very quickly.

"Obstacle Course"

They can be laid out both along the perimeter of the plot and as a fence around beds with crops that need protection. Any sharp waste can be used for this purpose.

Most often we are talking about shells - eggshells and those left over from walnuts.
