If slugs have appeared on your property, the problem may seem simply unsolvable: sometimes no action will bring the desired result.
However, there are a number of time-tested tricks
How did Soviet summer residents deal with the slug problem?
"Hot" powders
The pest's skin is not protected by anything, which is our advantage. Therefore, it is worth making the movement of slugs around the area as painful as possible.
Therefore, the most vulnerable crops and paths near them should be sprinkled with dry mustard or hot pepper powder.
Ordinary ash
This product will not only reduce the number of slugs, but will also be an excellent means of enriching the soil with nutrients.
You just need to sprinkle the soil with ash.
It can also be used to dust the most vulnerable crops.
Sawdust with sand
This will be a great defense against slugs. You can use them together or separately. It is worth noting that sawdust can also be an excellent mulching material.
But sand prevents slugs from moving normally.
