Slugs
From YM2149.org
Beer trap
- Leave a saucer of cheap lager out overnight
- I use what you'd normally put under a flower pot
- This will attract the fat orange type of slug, who die happy
- The smaller black and/or white slugs don't seem interested, but I guess they cause less destruction in the first place
- Allegedly foxes will then eat the slugs
Copper tape
- Wrap around young woody stems to prevent slugs climbing up and making holes
