Slug and Snail Control

Slug and snail control involves implementing strategies to protect plants from damage caused by these common garden pests. Slugs and snails are known for feeding on tender leaves, stems, and flowers, leaving behind ragged holes and slime trails. Control methods include cultural practices, such as reducing excess moisture and removing debris where slugs and snails hide, as well as using physical barriers like copper tape or diatomaceous earth. Hand-picking, setting traps, and applying organic slug and snail repellents or baits are also effective methods. Regular monitoring and control efforts help minimize the impact of these pests, protecting plants and maintaining the aesthetic quality of the garden.
