Some of the best predators of slugs and snails that you should encourage to your garden include:
– Birds
– Snakes
– Lizards
– Toads
– Frogs
– Ground Beetles
You can buy or make plans for a tiny electric slug fence that goes around raised beds, protecting the plants, or use copper strips to deter slugs from entering your garden.
Look for wool pellets that are made to control slugs in the garden. These pellets are made from compressed natural wool, and gardeners spread them around the base of your plants.
Avoid using loose mulches that provide hiding places for slugs throughout the day. Snails and slugs love mulches like straw, hay, and wood mulches. Pick compost or leaf mold as the perfect mulch.
