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.
