Harmful tips for dealing with slugs in the garden: some of them are useless, and others are downright dangerous

Because slugs are not picky about eating almost anything, they pose a serious threat to your garden.
There are two effective ways to control these pests.
You can resort to mechanical collection of parasites, or you can use the help of special preparations - molluscicides. However, in the latter case, you will not be able to eat fruits from your own plot for some time.
True, there are other methods that summer residents willingly resort to, but not always successfully: some of them are ineffective, while others can even harm the plantings.
Eggshell
It is believed that if you crush eggshells and sprinkle them on the soil around plants, slugs will not be allowed into the garden. In fact, these actions will not bring any results.
Boiling water
To use boiling water to kill slugs, you still have to collect them first, so this method is not complete.
Salt
If you sprinkle the area with salt, as this method requires, the slugs will indeed leave. But only because the salt will ruin the soil and the crops growing in it, which is why using salt is the most harmful advice of all.
