What is a safe method to deter slugs and snails in the garden without chemicals?

Posted on 11 May 2010.

One of the single most effective slug and snail pest control methods is to water your garden in the morning, and avoid watering it just before night. This is because slugs prefer wet, damp areas, and watering during the morning means the soil will be dry by the time night rolls around. Also, getting a colleciton fo the slugs natural predators, such as toads, to inhabit your garden will help, along with using local plant varieties, many of which already have natural slug defenses. For an even greater list of slug deterrents, please follow the supplied links.

I hope this helped!

You can put out a shallow dish of beer in your garden. The slugs will become attracted to it and be easy to clean up in the morning. We used to do this to keep them from bothering the plants in our garden. They go after stale beer as well, so if you can re-use one can for a week or so.

I’m not sure how smart this is….BUT I’m going to say it anyway. At my grandma’s house me and my brother just take the slugs out of the garden ourselves. Then we just use the slugs as bate for fishing. You would be surprised how many fish you can catch with a good slug.
