Spreading the word that Sluggo Plus will save your strawberries (or any other crop) from slugs and snails but ALSO pillbugs and pincher bugs. It’s the pillbugs I struggle with most (otherwise I’d use regular Sluggo which only targets slugs and snails). It’s organic of course and pet safe. I use it more this time of year when those pests are the most active and when ripe berries and tender spring seedlings are most susceptible 🍓
