Slugs can be fought with a solution of sodium chloride and ammonia. Garlic, nettle, parsley, etc. are very effective. And a gardener may try to make his garden a habitat and a hunting place for toads and frogs.
Instruction manual
1
Slugs, or slugs, are gastropod mollusks that cause great damage to crops. Fighting slugs is very difficult, since most of the various pesticides practically do not give any result. Therefore, gardeners and gardeners have to come up with more and more new ways to destroy them.
2
The easiest and most effective way to deal with slugs is to collect them manually. But this is a very painstaking work, so it’s easier to apply baits - wet rags, boards, tufts of grass, burdock, cabbage or pumpkin leaves, and bypass traps in the morning and destroy the slugs hidden there.
3
It is known that slugs do not tolerate the smell of parsley, so you can plant a bed around the entire perimeter of parsley, and for the sake of "convincing" cover them with cut stems of nettles. Slugs do not like nettles and in this way you can not only protect your planting, but also contribute to the growth of vegetable crops.
4
Many gardeners have noticed that slugs do not exist on beds of garlic and onions. If you do not want to plant other beds with garlic because of the inconvenience this grown plant can create, you can go the other way: grind 200 g of garlic in a meat grinder, dilute in 60 liters of water, mix, strain and pour the soil in the greenhouse with this compound. As practice shows, slugs will no longer appear in these places, which means that the seedlings of cucumbers and other vegetable crops will be preserved.
5
In the evening in calm weather, take a hand-held sprayer, fill it with water and add there an incomplete tablespoon of ammonia. Treat each shelter of slugs two to three times, and repeat the procedure after a week. Thus, you will not only destroy these pests, but also spend foliar feeding with nitrogen.
6
If you find slugs in the cellar or baseboards at home, prepare a solution of sodium chloride by mixing 200 g of the product with 10 l of water. Water them with slug habitats and they will no longer bother you.

And German gardeners have found an effective and original way to deal with slugs. It is not known how they learned that these pests are connoisseurs of dark beers. You can also take note of this way of fighting. Fill a few small glasses with beer and dig them flush into the ground around the plants. Especially greedy pests will go to the bottom, and the rest will remain on the "battlefield."

In England and Holland, slugs are fought with the help of toads and frogs. It is known that these amphibians eat these pests, so you can try to settle them in your garden and thereby save your possessions from destruction. Attempts to forcibly settle them on their site are likely to be unsuccessful. Try to unobtrusively attract them by creating some kind of pond and preparing them shelters in the form of halves of broken flower pots, etc.
