🐚🐌Hey garden I am the voracious slimy creature and gardener’s worst enemy
My is 🐌SNAIL🐌
I usually appear in ☔🌧️mild and damp conditions.
I stay in neighbouring vegetation, under stones, under the rims of plant pots, a thousand hiding places.🐌
These are the things which make me allergic 👇👇
🌸🌱🍎Management/control measures:
🌿Use bait:
1. The most effective baits are beer and iron phosphate.
2. Use methiocarb and metaldehyde to control the pests.
🍂Use traps: Inverted grapefruit halves, overturned flowerpots, and boards, Diatomaceous earth.
🌷Use barriers and repellents: Good barriers are crushed egg shells, lava rock, and sandpaper. You can also use coffee, ginger, sage, mint, vinegar, or garlic as repellants.
🥀Employ biological methods: You can introduce chickens, geese, and ducks in your garden to feed on pests.
🌻Grow snail and slug-resistant plants: aromatic herbs such as lavender, rosemary, and sage.
☘️Use killing substances, chemicals, and pesticides.
🍃Kill and dispose of the mollusks manually.
🌾Change your watering schedule: Early morning watering is best.
🌺Kill their eggs.
One of the best method of controlling SNAILS is
🍁🍁When snails touch COPPER, their slime reacts in a way that they receive an uncomfortable electrical shock.
🍒🍒Broken EGGSHELLS have sharp edges that will hurt snails and slugs if they try to crawl over them.
