Description

Slugs are gastropods of the mollusc family. They are very easy to identify, especially compared to snails since they are shell-less.

Especially active at night and during warm humid periods, they can cause damage throughout the year to a wide range of plants.

Slugs are very abundant in gardens and they play an important role in the composting process, so their presence must be tolerated to some extent.

Promote the habitat of natural predators such as hedgehogs, toads, frogs, shrews, ground beetles, fireflies, blackbirds, and starlings.

Use repellent plants such as sage, savory, and thyme, among others.

Don’t cover the soil with freshly mowed grass.
