Natural remedies against Slugs in a vegetable garden

Creating a Barrier:

One effective strategy is fortifying flower beds to establish an impenetrable zone, a "natural barrier," thwarting slugs and snails from entering. These garden pests, known for moving on a mucus veil, thrive in high humidity and water. They typically emerge during dusk to feast on young seedlings in vegetable gardens, especially during rainy and wet months. On humid days, they lurk in the soil, awaiting the return of rain.

To exploit this vulnerability—their reliance on moisture—we can encircle vegetable beds with dry materials. Clay granules, renowned for their absorbent properties, form a barrier that slugs cannot cross. This natural solution is endorsed in organic farming and poses no threat to humans, animals, or crops.

You could also apply our Ecofective Slug Stoppa Plant Spray 1L Pouch which creates an invisible barrier onto plants. With this barrier, slugs and snails are deterred from going near the plant leaving it to grow and thrive unharmed. Slug Stoppa is a pesticide-free child & pet safe ready to use spray that also contains nutrients to enhance and promote plant growth. When sprayed onto plants it gives the plant an ability to withstand slugs or snails whilst ensuring they are all unharmed and that natural predators such as hedgehogs, amphibians and birds are safe to feed in the garden.
