Slugs Invasion

My mom would use salt , she would surround the strawberry patches with salt so when the slugs whould go for them they would be covered in salt and would die before reaching the fruits

Slugs,snails, i find them disgusting and the slimy trace they leave where they pass.On a foot path where l do walk in the evenings, there are uncountable snails,the popping sound when you step on one...........hate them

A flock of ducks will clean up slugs and snails as fast as anything.

Slugs are moist. Our ground squirrels are thirsty. I have sent you a parcel of 20 thirsty ground squirrels.

Oh no! I had a bad time with slugs last year and now we just had a very mild winter. I will have to pay attention. I wonder if the neighbour would lend me some ducks.

Try turmeric powder on them

You will have to get a couple of pet hedgehogs, they love slugs.

Copper wire (or, better, copper strip) works well in keeping slugs off plants in pots. You just put a thin strip of copper around the rim of the pot and no slugs or snails will venture over it. The copper reacts with acids in their slime and it either tastes bad to them or it gives them a small electrical shock - either way, they avoid copper! You can buy suitable strips at good garden centres but you only have to strip the insulation off some spare lenghs of houshold electrical wire and you should have plenty. The same method works for a plot of land. The copper must be on the surface, though, so that they can't avoid touching it either by getting underneath or by crawling on soil over it. Slugs and snails also dislike dry, powdery surfaces and coal ash or very fine grit is a good deterrent as long as it can be kept dry or replaced after rain.

Not so often I come across slugs or snails. Once in a blue moon. I hope your trap works!

Thank goodness we don't have them here. Sorry, I don't have a clue how to get rid of them. Getting them drunk shold work LOL!

I think all slugs/grubs and the like are disgusting, but especially the ones that become mosquitos. Either way, I hope you find a good way to eliminate these pesky creatures from your garden.

I think the climate season make them to grow. If the weather changes it will disappear naturally.

I have never seen a slug in my gardens and hope never too. I know some areas of the United States gets them, thankfully we don't seem to. I hope you solution works for you.

Slugs are so slimy. Fortunately I don't see them.

You listed what I'm doing and agree some years are easier than others. My weather is so warm some days that we have problems year round.It was really hard to believe shorts could be worn this morning. The Koi were waiting for me to feed them.

I never have an issue with slugs as a matter of fact I don't think I have ever seen one in my garden.

I'm afraid I tend to resort to chemical sprays to exterminate them.

We have a lot of them here too. We have those giant "banana" slugs. I have accidentally stepped on a few while walking through tall grass. Boy, those suckers a slippery.

We dont have that problem here, but more power to you! When we were kids we were allowed a box of salt each and the hunt was on! For some reason we enjoyed watching them melt.

Thanks for these tips. I didn't know easy ways to get rid of slugs. Thanks.
