How do I safely get rid of slugs (many slugs) in my flower garden without killing my plants?
yes beer dfinitely works.
Reply:Put a pie tin full of beer buried about an inch into the ground. It sounds weird, but if you put it out in the evening the slugs come out at night and for some reason drown themselves in the beer. It's gross and strange but I swear it works!
Reply:A pie tin of beer. Or if you don't want to use that, try mixing water, sugar, and yeast. Instant Slugweiser!
Reply:catfood cans filled with beer--the slugs drown themselves
Reply:sea salt water about half and half or just sprinkle actually salt all along the edges of area like a boarder the slugs wont go through it the ones already there just pour it right on them. you got a job ahead of ya im sure good luck
Reply:Crushed eggshells or garden grade diatamaceous earth (sp? )



Slugs are soft bodied critters. Crawling on these craggy surfaces is not pleasant for them and they will go elsewhere.

Sprinkle either all around your garden.

Reply:Oi! NOVA is slug city. Bremerton, Washington has it worse with their gooey ducks. Slugs must be OK, because they're so natural. Don't you get the feeling that Global Warming is affecting the balance of nature? I've seen so many STRANGE variations on nature where we live, over the past 16 years, it's getting sort of creepy. I love nauture, but giant poison ivy, yuck!
Reply:Salt and beer
Reply:Salt kills them don't know what it would do to your flowers though
Reply:Beer or Salt. Place a small saucer of beer in your garden. Same with the salt.
Reply:Get a pie plate, a small bowl and a can of beer and some table salt. Beer attracts slugs for some reason, pour the beer in the small bowl, place the table salt in the pie plate, put the bowl of beer in the middle of the salt, when the slugs come to the beer they'll crawl thru the salt, killing them. It works every time and has no effect on garden plants.
Reply:get a shallow dish

put beer in it

let it sit by morning you will have lots of them in it...

of course this will need to be done often...

also slugs hang around moisture like under rocks and such so if you had a beer soaked rag out there they would go on that i think the beer in saucer or large pie pan drowns them?%26gt;
Reply:beer. slugs are highly attracted to beer. you put beer in some slug traps (which you can find at a local flower store or A.C. Moore's or something) and then you can clean them out or get rid of them the next day or two.
Reply:Put liquid soap and water in a spray bottle and spray them.
Reply:Small dish of beer at ground level. They climb in but don't climb out!
