Love them or hate them, slugs are a part of the garden ecosystem and are a vital source of food for a wide range of wildlife further up the food chain, including frogs, toads, birds and hedgehogs. However, many of us don't have the perfect balance of predator and pest, and need to resort to alternative methods of control. That said, it's important not to harm other wildlife in the process of controlling slugs, so it's best to do this organically.
