Do anybody know how to minimize or get rid of slugs and snails? I have been using vinegar and water in a spray bottle and I’ve been up late at night and wake up early in the morning to go to work. I am now extremely exhausted and I would like to know if there’s any easier way?
Ugh I bet, that sounds exhausting. I haven’t had troubles with those yet, but I’ve used this brand name for other pests and it seems to work. Maybe give this a go?
I will look into it. I am desperate for anything! 😩😩
1 j'aime Oh yeah, garden pests can be such a hassle, I battled aphids on my pepper plants all last summer and never once did I eradicate them fully, those suckers ate diatomaceous earth and neem oil for breakfast lol 😂 🙄
1 j'aime Oh that is hilarious!! At the moment my rose bushes are suffering because of these fatty slugs! They are eating the leaves for dinner!
2 J'aimedo you want to kill them or just relocate them? i caught snails by putting open strawberry and stuff it catches their attention but idk how big or garden is
0 J'aime My garden is 20ft long shaped into a rectangle. I don’t have many flowers so I would like to preserve them so the ones that I did planted will have a chance to grow so I would like to just kill them for now. 🥺

I don’t have personal experience with this, but read that egg shells can deter their movements. I’ve also seem videos of people setting up a “barrier” or outline around what they’re protecting with copper wire. Again, not sure how effective either of these methods may be.

I’d personally try to avoid any slug killer, nature remedies are going to be better for the birds and wildlife. I use egg shells, coffee grounds and sea weed ☀️
1 j'aime I got coffee grounds but I don’t know if using used coffee grounds or putting coffee in water and then pouring it.
0 J'aimeI have the same problem so I use Sluggo, it’s wildlife and pet safe and it works FAST.
1 j'aime Do you know if it’s working? Like will I find dead snails in the morning or will the snails eat it and then crawl somewhere to die?
0 J'aimeThey will eat it and crawl somewhere and die haha. All I know is that I sprinkle it and within a few days, I don’t see any snails or slugs

Marigolds work fine and release a scent slugs and snails hate
0 J'aime Really? I love marigolds… they are so pretty 😊
0 J'aime Make sure to get a flowering one though or they won’t work
