    Great test I truly appreciate your channel. Do not stop showing us what works and what don’t work. These slugs are relentless. Thank you for the video. I really enjoyed watching it.

    They're definitely deterred by it, but if they had an incentive to crawl across it, like some lettuce I'm not so sure this would stop them.

    Brilliant! I’ve managed to get rid of my slugs with nematodes, but the larger snails are still munching down. I have a bunch of raw wool which I’ll scatter around their favourite snacks

      Well with slugs it's of matter of effectiveness in percent. The only thing keeping them out to 100% is an electric fence. I'd say this video shows that slugs dislike garlic and will, most of the time, avoid passing it.

    petroleum jelly / vaseline can be used as a barrier slugs snails will not cross , especially useful on the horizontal sides of pots / containers

  • @EmmaHafner
    @EmmaHafner Рік тому

    I found your Video via your website. Thank you very much for all the effort you have made, which has saved me a lot of time to experiment. I have a million snails in my small garden, because it is very unfavorable on three sides, where the beasts can hide there very well. Last night I collected about 400 snails from my young onions again. Most of them are baby snales, which are also difficult to spot. So far I've just cut them up on the spot, thanks to them I now know that this only attracts more snails What really helped last year are these lettuce collars and so I have now bought a snail fence and have to put it up now. I will also try the above tip so I can catch the pies that are then inside the fence. And I will try the mint tip. Your videos and your website are extremely well done. They explain exactly what works, what doesn't really work and what helps. Thank you very much. I will update on how this traps above works. I mulch my garden with wood chips, which, if I understood correctly, would attract predators. On the other hand, it is a great hiding place for the beasts. The problem is that my garden neighbor uses slug pellets. Let's see how this affects each other. best regards, emma from Glarus / Switzerland

    Sand? Sand + salt? Yanks for these seeing is believing. A.so, someone recommended copper tape hooked up to a 9 volt battery.

    • @slughelp
      @slughelp Рік тому

      Sand is another idea. You can see the test here: ua-cam.com/video/9WQC1RqNEjc/v-deo.html Please don't sprinkle salt in the garden. More info here: www.slughelp.com/using-salt-to-control-slugs-snails-application-criticism/ Copper tape, on the other hand, is a good idea: www.slughelp.com/copper-snails-slugs/ And If you combine it with a 9 volt battery, you get an electric slug fence. Learn more here: www.slughelp.com/electric-slug-fence/ And please don't forget to attract natural enemies like ground beetles. May you have a peaceful time in your garden!

    • @adailydaughter6196
      @adailydaughter6196 Рік тому

    I crushed eggshells with a pestle and mortar. They have to be almost powder. I put them around newly planted lettuce seedlings and the slugs stayed away. I had cabbages that got destroyed and that’s what made me try the egg shells. Also you have to wash the eggshells then dry them out before crushing. I’ll be using them for my cabbage next spring!
