Controlling Slugs

Place beer in the lid of a jar or in a tuna can.  If using a tuna can, bury part of it so that slugs can enter it easily.  Slugs will be attracted to this at night, and will climb in and drown.  To be most effective, they should be emptied and refilled daily or every few days.

Save eggshells that have been rinsed and dried, and then crush them either by hand or in a food processor.  Spread the crushed eggshells around plants you are trying to protect in the garden.  The slugs will not crawl across them, and they have the benefit of adding nutrients to your garden!
