We’ll look at the main reasons behind sudden slug invasions, from warm winters and heavy rain to sheltered hiding spots and moisture-rich soil. You’ll also hear the most effective, wildlife-friendly methods to reduce slug damage — from beer traps and night patrols to mulches, barriers, and clever planting strategies.
