Slugs wreak havoc in the garden, undoing months of hard work by munching holes in leaves and flowers.
The pesky creatures will eat almost anything they come into contact with, nibbling on both the leaves and fruit in the plants and quickly causing damage overnight.
While chewed leaves and slimy trails are tell-tale signs of a slug infestation, gardeners often don't realise their garden has been overrun by slugs until it is too late.
