So i have a problem with slugs in the garden. They eat everything, and every night i cut around fifty slugs, to prevent thoese to get eggs and make more slugs . BUT, i see the same slugs i cut in half in the compost heap, and doing a great job,getting our waste in the best dirt for the garden. What would you do? Still cut those,or just leave them?

I read somewhere that bread dough is even more of a lure than beer for traps, that might be worth a try also

I found this recipe for dough "slurry" for trapping slugs: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/gallery/how-create-slug-trap-using-bread-dough-slurry
