Bring wildlife into the garden
Lots of animals eat slugs and snails.
Adding a small pond will help bring the animals, which can help you to control the slug population.
Provide these areas where they can cover, so you could easily remove them.
you could also place upturned grapefruits or orange skins.
The moisture and thick skin keep the inside of the upturned grapefruits cool.
Slugs love to congregate in those areas.

Beer traps
Sink a bowl or bottle into the ground.
For the bowls, put a tile over the top to keep the rain out of the beer.
Dont use expensive beers, just your local supermarket brand.
Nematodes
These are the slugs enemies.
you’ve got the option to buy Nemaslug from shops.
Whirl pallets
Do not use blue pallets, as these are chemically produced.
They are bad for your garden, yourself, animals, and the environment.
Use wool pellets instead, as they are effective.
Slugs dont like the itchiness of the texture of the wool.
it’s possible for you to lay them around plants.
Add copper tape
Stick copper tapes around your pots and connect a 9-volt battery.
This is great for container gardens and raised beds.
