Slugs are a common garden pest. They eat plants, but they’re also a source of food for other animals. Slugs are related to snails and have some snail-like characteristics. For example, slugs have the same number of tentacles as snails (five) and move around in a similar way by gliding along on their bellies—with the exception that slugs don’t use their shells for protection like snails do.

There are plenty of natural options for keeping slugs out of your garden

There are plenty of natural options for keeping slugs out of your garden. Natural slug repellents can be used in a variety of ways, including:

• Using diatomaceous earth, which is made up of fossilized remains of algae. This is an easy option to source, and it doesn’t cost much money. It’s also good if you have pets because it won’t harm them or other animals if they ingest some while eating their food out in the yard (although they probably shouldn’t eat the diatomaceous earth directly).
• Using garlic sprays–spray this solution on plants that slugs like to munch on during the evening hours when most people are sleeping so as not to bother anyone else but yourself!
