How can I keep slugs away from my cat's food?
You can keep slugs away from your cat's food by placing the food bowl on a raised platform or using a shallow moat of water around the bowl to create a barrier that slugs cannot easily cross. Additionally, regularly cleaning up any spilled food and keeping the feeding area clean and dry can help deter slugs.
Are slugs harmful to plants and how can I protect my garden from them?
Slugs can be harmful to plants as they feed on leaves and stems, causing damage to the garden. To protect your garden from slugs, you can use barriers like copper tape or diatomaceous earth, set up traps with beer or citrus peels, and encourage natural predators like birds and frogs. Regularly removing hiding spots and keeping the garden clean can also help deter slugs.
Does aluminum foil repell snails?
Most people recommend using copper foil as a repellent for slugs and snails. Conventional wisdom suggests that the slugs & snails receive an unpleasant electrical sensation and are deterred from crossing the copper. I have had reasonably good success using aluminum foil to repel slugs. When we used to feed our dogs in an enamel pan, slugs would constantly invade and eat the dog food. After switching to an aluminum pan, slugs were no longer a problem. Placing aluminum foil around our broccoli plants helped to deter the slugs as well. Aluminum is a lot cheaper than copper. For planters and raised beds, you can get a roll of self-adhesive aluminum tape at hardware stores (look in the heating/venting aisle); 2 inches wide and 150 feet long for $10-15 US. Copper foil tape is considerably more expensive, and can be found in the garden department. Note that the aluminum or copper must be uncoated. The coating will prevent the electrical reaction that repels slugs and snails. ================= I have found aluminium to be useless against snails. However, copper appears to work. I have 10 pots in my front garden. I put copper strips on the lips of 3 of them and aluminium strips on the other 7. I took a photo in my garden last night which shows a snail happily sliding along on the aluminium strips I had carefully stuck on the edge of one of my pots. There were many others on the other aluminium edged pots (I killed 11 all up from the aluminium edged pots). However, the 3 pots edged with copper had no snails in them.
How do you get slugs out of flower bed?
I have resd that if you place a cup in the ground, lip level with the groung and fill it with beer the slugs will go into it and die. After you get rid of them, scatter Diatamaceous Eath in and around the bed, the slugs will not cross it because it cuts their bellies. It will not cut your skin, even if you walk on it. I foumd it at Lowe's or Home Depot. Hope it helps.
How can I effectively keep slugs out of my strawberries?

Regularly inspecting your strawberry plants and keeping the garden clean can also help prevent slug infestations.
How can I protect strawberries from slugs?

Does snails eat plants and vegetables and fruit?
Yes . . . But garden slugs are a much bigger problem. If you have an invasion of garden slugs or snails in your garden, try crumbling up egg shells and spreading them around your plants. ( The slugs have attacked my spaghetti squash this year, and I lost about half of them, before I caught onto them ! Their slimy trail was a dead give away ! ) Anyway . . . slugs and snails will NOT cross over egg shell.
