| Slug and Snail Control Options Unfortunately, we cannot count on nature to help with our slug problems because many predators including birds, squirrels, and mice stay away from slugs and snails; they taste horrible.
Environmental Control By making the environment in a garden or yard less favorable to slugs and snails, it may help in the steps toward controlling these destructive pests , but slugs and snails have similar tastes and needs as gardeners and plants do.
For example, decreasing the amount of moisture in their habitat areas may help but most plants need that moisture to thrive. In addition, removing slug-and-snail-favored plantings such as hostas and strawberries and landscaping can help in their control, but strawberries are delicious and hostas are a beautiful edition to gardens and landscaping. So most environmental control options aren’t favorable to gardeners for resolving this problem and remember only a fraction of the population of these animals is on the surface at any given time and most are feeding while you sleep.
