Experts have named the easiest method to get rid of slugs in the country without pesticides

Slugs and snails are attracted to a wide range of ornamental plants and vegetables. They can cause devastation in the garden by eating plant leaves, flowers and stems.

The annoying pests are most active at night, but usually leave noticeable silvery marks on patios, walls, and floors. To prevent slugs and snails from eating plants, it is not necessary to use pesticides, writes Express.co.uk.

In particular, you can use copper tape on plant pots to deter slugs and snails from eating plants. The reason copper tape repels slugs and snails is that it causes a harmless electric shock when they touch it.

Slugs do not like plants with a strong aroma, such as lavender, fennel, rosemary and wormwood.
