Dried Grain Kills Slugs

apluswriting

Beer is messy. Salt is terrible for the soil. Vinegar has to be sprayed directly on the slugs. Moreover, to be sure, handpicking has to be one of the least favorite ways to kill slugs in a garden. However, organic methods are the only safe way to control slugs.

Here is a straightforward, and dry, method of killing slugs.

Depending on how many slugs you expect in one night, put 2 or 3 tablespoons of cornmeal in a jar. Lay the container on its side in the bed or area of the garden where slugs are being a nuisance. Alternatively, use several vessels for a larger area.

The slugs will be attracted to the scent of the corn and will crawl into the jar but won’t be able to crawl out. In the morning dump the contents into a compost pile or bury in the garden and repeat the following night.
