A simple remedy for fighting slugs has been named: environmentally friendly and inexpensive
Summer is coming to an end, but it’s too early to rest, because ahead lies harvesting, preparing the soil for the new season and the no less exciting fight against pests.
Among other things, gardeners are bothered by nasty slugs, which leave numerous offspring and spread diseases.
In the store you can find various means for fighting gastropods, but chemicals have a negative effect on the quality of the harvest and the fertile soil layer.
Therefore, experienced summer residents practice folk methods of control, which sometimes turn out to be no worse than industrial ones.
How to proceed
You need to purchase 10% ammonia and dilute 2 tablespoons of the product in 10 liters of water.
Next, the solution is poured into watering cans or sprayers and the vegetation is treated in places where slugs are most likely to hide.
It is believed that it is enough to water the grass with an ammonia solution, after tasting which the pests will immediately go to a better world.
It is not recommended to postpone this issue until the onset of cold weather, since with the approach of frost, pests try to hide in the soil.
