There’s nothing more infuriating than heading outside to check how your plants are faring, only to discover they’ve been decimated overnight by hungry slugs and snails. But while there are certain plants that slugs are attracted to, there are plenty of snail and slug repellent plants they hate, so choosing these can be a great nature-friendly deterrent.
Gardening experts agree that it shouldn’t be a matter of simply reaching for the slug pellets in the battle of how to get rid of slugs - chemical deterrents can be harmful to other wildlife - and as annoying as they are, slugs and snails are an important part of the eco-system, helping return nutrients to the soil and as a food source for larger animals.
