While there are various DIY methods to deter slugs and snails, they often provide temporary relief. Here are some common approaches:

• Beer traps: A popular method involving burying a container filled with beer to attract and drown slugs.
• Salt: Spreading salt on slugs can dehydrate them, but it can also harm beneficial soil organisms.
