Slugs very much gigrofilny and koncentri­ruyutsya generally on the lowered sites with a dense vegetative cover, high humidity of the soil and air. Optimum temperature for their accommodation – 10-30 ° With, at temperature 30 ° With they die out. Nizyokiye of temperature (below-4-7) also vyzyva­yut death of slugs.

In order to avoid their invasion vegetable kul­tury it is necessary to isolate from the adjoining to them strongly littered or crude sites. The soil round plants pollinate superfosfayoty (30-40 g/m2), a slaked lime (30 g/m2), a lime mix with tobacco (20-25 g/m2) or spray solution of potash salt (1 kg on 10 l an oxen). Norm of expenses – 1 l of solution on 1 sq.m. Processing carry out late at night when slugs creep out of shelters – 2 times with an interval 20-30 minutes.

Effectively and application kreolina: on 10 l of water – 100 g of a preparation. Processing provo­dyat twice with an interval 5-10 minutes. After the first processing slugs vy­polzayut from shelters and skidyva­yut an armor, but a part them osta­yotsya live, and after the second processing wreckers almost a polyonost perish. On 1 sq.m at two processings spend 1-1,5 l of liquid. Oprysyokivany lead only on those sites where slugs accumulate.
