May and early June have seen a string of rainy days in New England. With that much-welcome rain, unfortunately, has come an equally unwelcome pest: slugs. Look over the undersides of leaves in your garden (especially low-growing perennials) and, if you see any slugs, assume there are more lurking in the soil or mulch. Skip the cutesy internet-fed slug remedies and go for what works: iron-phosphate-based pellets, available under several brand names in most nurseries. Place them around the base of plants and replenish monthly as long as it keeps raining.
Iron phosphate is the quickest and most effective way to get rid of slugs
