What are the most common problems with Slugs and snails?

Check light, water, drainage and recent weather before treating anything. Check for slugs at dusk or after rain, protect vulnerable seedlings and remove hiding places close to tender plants. Encourage natural predators and consider physical barriers. Avoid relying on any single control method. If symptoms spread, share a clear photograph and details of growing conditions.
