Killing snails and slugs

Gardens, Tips Add comments

There are many ways to kill snails and slugs, they have been thought up and tried and tested since the beginning of time (probably) as they have been the bane of our garden’s existence for that long. All of the solutions have been tried but some are more effective than others. I’m going to tell you about my favorite ways.

If you only have a few, then you can hand pick them and throw them over your garden fence.

Stale beer or yeast can be used to lure them out of the garden’s flower beds as they are attracted to this. Or if you have a husband or a boyfriend just make them sleep outside and they’ll breathe out the fumes.

Snails and slugs cannot stand copper. It gives them a tiny electrical shock whenever they come into contact with it. It won’t kill them but it is fun to know that they cannot enter a certain area surrounded by copper, like vampires and garlic. So place copper around an area, or across a border that you do not want the snails and slugs to cross.
