Fighting slugs in the garden can be a difficult task. UAportal recommends practical and environmentally friendly pest control measures in the garden.

Beer traps

Beer traps can be an effective method of controlling slugs in the garden. The use of shallow containers filled with beer buried in the ground can attract slugs with the smell. It is important to choose a suitable container and bury it so that the edge is flush with the soil.

Natural predators

An effective way to control the slug population is to attract natural predators such as frogs and birds. These animals naturally feed on slugs, which allows you to regulate their numbers. Thus, it is very important to build habitats, such as ponds.

Crop rotation

Introducing crop rotation in the garden can effectively disrupt the life cycle of slugs and reduce their population over time. By diversifying the types of crops and alternating plantings, you can significantly reduce the likelihood that pests will be able to settle.
