Beer and grapefruit baits, coffee ground or lava rock or salt sprinkling, copper meshing/stripping, diatomaceous earth applications, ferric phosphate and garlic treatments, and seaweed soil amendments are ways to control slipper slugs on an allotment. The above-mentioned controls can be counted on to eliminate slipper slug populations in the least cruel and the most non-toxic ways. They work well with litter removal, moisture control, morning watering, regular mowing, and weed pick-up to keep environments not as damp and messy as slipper slugs like the ground to be.

How is sodium chloride is used to control slugs in a garden?

Sodium chloride, or table salt, can be used to control slugs in a garden by creating a barrier or applying it directly to the slugs.

However, caution is needed, as excessive salt can harm the soil and surrounding plants. It's often recommended to use salt sparingly and consider alternative methods for pest control.
