<human>:  How do I get rid of slugs in my garden?
<bot>: The best way to get rid of slugs in your garden is to encourage natural predators like birds, frogs and hedgehogs that feed on slugs. Other preventative measures you can take include placing copper tape around the edges of your garden beds, ensuring the soil is well drained and sprinkling diatomaceous earth around garden beds. You can also hand pick any slugs you see or use products such as beer traps or homemade solutions such as salt or hot pepper sprays.
