How to control slugs
Home & Garden • Landscaping
Slugs love the lush green leaves of Perennials. There are some old fashioned ways of controlling slugs-pouring salt on them, even creating beer traps causing them to drown but there are some new ideas as well. One is iron phosphate pellets. They're great because all you do is sprinkle them around the plant, the slugs eat them and die. They are safe for the environment, they break down in the soil and they don't harm insects or pets. Another way is to try high caffeinated coffee, this supposedly repels slugs, so just pour it around your plants and watch them run.
