Powdered mustard, tobacco dust or hot pepper are chosen as the main component.

Beer

An interesting fact is that this pest has a strong craving for alcoholic beverages. If you make traps where beer is used as bait, you will solve the slug problem very quickly.

"Obstacle Course"

They can be laid out both along the perimeter of the plot and as a fence around beds with crops that need protection. Any sharp waste can be used for this purpose.

Most often we are talking about shells - eggshells and those left over from walnuts.
