Slugs are those slimy creatures that come out at night and leave a trail of shiny slime behind them. Slugs will devour your vegetables, like my lettuce and they also like some plants.
There are some that like to keep slugs as pets, yes....well to each his own, right?
Slug Control From Your Kitchen
How To Get Rid Of Slugs
Getting rid of slugs can be as easy as crushing up egg shells and adding the crushed egg shells to your soil. Egg shells are also a great addition to help compost the soil. My mom used egg shells in all her house plants.Crush the egg shells into small pieces, till or mix into your soil or place around the bottom of your plant
The egg shells act as shards of glass and the slugs will avoid attacking your lettuce and plants. I recommend adding the crushed egg shells to the soil and till before you plant.
Give Your Slug A Drink
How To Get Rid Of Slugs
Give the slimy creatures a Beer to help get rid of slugs in your garden. Yes, it really does work. There was a study done at Colorado State University , yep a study, on the best brand of beer that slugs like the most. Kingsbury Malt and Budweiser came out on top, but you can use any beer.My slugs like Bud Light, it's what we drink in our home and we like to share. Don't use stale beer, the slugs like it just as much as we do! Wait until dusk and fill an old margarine tub top with beer and place on top of the soil as close to the damaged plants as possible. The next morning they should be filled with dead drunken slugs.
If you are not a beer drinker and don't want to spend money on beer for your slimy friends. Spritz your slugs with some coffee. Research has found caffeine to be very effective at deterring slugs. Save your old coffee from the morning and spray them full strength directly on the beasts in the evening. You can even place your coffee grounds around your plants to deter the slugs.
