That being the case then how can you combat slugs and
snails? Is there an effective remedy for success? Here we have some methods.
One of these methods to combat slugs and snails is to put a
liquid bait. For example, you can fill a small container with water or beer.
The beer is quite effective as the smell of this attract slugs and snails. When
approaching these fall into the small bowl and drown.
Another method, a little more dangerous because of its
toxicity, is making piles of active as metaldehyde throughout the garden. This
will make the snails out and want to eat it approached, causing death within a
few days. If there are children at home, we must take special care not to leave
the garden because this ingredient can be lethal.
Using yeast is ideal for combating slugs and snails love
this item as these. You have to prepare a bottle deep enough for snails (maybe
one of jam) and place in warm water, sugar and yeast. Then they dig holes in
the garden and buried the jars prepared with yeast. Slugs and snails will go
directly to the trap. Every day should be reviewed and throw slugs and snails
that have been trapped. Every so this preparation should be replaced as
moisture, heat and other external agents can ruin it.
Finally you can put cabbage leaves around the plants with
some poison for slugs and snails to go there that are eliminated.
There is also a method that does not require any money but
more effort: remove snails and slugs by hand. To this must be checked each day
as they tend to reproduce rapidly. The snails are edible, meaning they can be
eaten and many say they are delicious and highly nutritious. If you dare, you
can gather them and throw them in the pot.
Garden pests can cause damage to crops, flowers and any type
of planting but these pests can be controlled. Slugs and snails are perhaps one
of the easiest to combat pests but why not be trusted.
