Our gardens are nothing short of paradise for slugs, offering a bounty of favorite plants and ideal living conditions. They also prey on small insects in the garden, particularly during the warmer months.
A real invasion of snails. How to get rid of them in a simple way?
So, what's an effective way to remove slugs from the garden? Thanks to the fruit's essential oils, placing half of a grapefruit where slug activity is noted quickly lures them in. After attracting the slugs, collect and remove them from the garden.
