During the season, it can sometimes be difficult to find a decent way to combat slugs that would give a guaranteed result.
However, in autumn the advantages are on our side: thanks to the weather it will be much easier to get rid of pests
What methods can be tried?
Purchased chemicals
During the summer cottage season, you don't want to use such products, as there are concerns that they will affect the harvest. However, in the fall, you can safely use them.
Use the drugs according to the instructions. In most cases, their effectiveness will pleasantly surprise you.
Beer
Once you have tidied up your garden, there will be nowhere for the slugs to hide, so now is the time to lure them out of any remaining hiding places.
Beer has a simply "enchanting" aroma for pests, which they cannot resist. It is best to pour the drink into a container so that they drown in it.
Shell
This method can be used at any time of the year, but in the fall, in combination with all other methods, its effectiveness will increase.
It is recommended to spread not too crushed eggshells over the area.
