Slugs seem harmless only to an inexperienced gardener who is just beginning to engage in the process of growing vegetable crops.

In fact, these creatures, although slow, cause enormous damage to crops.

Therefore, as soon as parasites are noticed on the site, you should begin to fight them.

First of all, you need to clear the area of debris, weeds, fallen leaves and old branches.

This is where slugs like to hide during the day.

Plants can be treated with a simple infusion, which pests will definitely not like.

For this purpose, a mustard infusion (50 g of mustard per 300 ml of water) or garlic infusion (3 crushed cloves per 200 ml) is suitable.

The products should be infused for a day, and then mixed with water to bring the total mass to a liter. After this, you can proceed to spraying the plantings.

In addition, you can lay out herbs whose aroma pests do not like: mint, lavender, rosemary or sage. Onions or garlic can also be used.
