The rainy spring and the beginning of summer are not helping sunbathing aficionados. However, nature is having a field day. The combination of water and warmth is a godsend for many of the plants and small creatures that populate our gardens. Among the latter, the slug won't deny it: it loves all this moisture! Long a problem in the vegetable garden, slugs have now decided to attack cars, particularly electric ones.
WHY DO SLUGS LIKE ELECTRIC CARS? What do all these houses have in common? Their electric charging points. Slugs would leave their little patch of greenery to crawl into the tight sheaths of these devices. The reason given by specialists is that the smell of electrical cables irresistibly attracts these little creatures.
WHAT ARE THE NON-LETHAL SOLUTIONS FOR GETTING RID OF THESE GASTROPODS? Even so, as the saying goes: prevention is better than cure. So to avoid this kind of mishap, the best solution is still to scare the slugs away. Since slugs are not dangerous to humans, there's no reason to harm them. You should therefore opt for non-lethal solutions, such as catching them.
