Bug-the-slug (and friends) with our little book series

If sales of our Slugs tipsheet are anything to go by, gardeners spend most of their free time devising strategies to bring about the demise of unwelcome gastropod guests. Slugs are public enemy number one in UK gardens and most Brits have their favourite method of despatch - from the gentle, surreptitious sport of Neighbours' Fence Pitch-and-Toss to the 'what a way to die' beer trap death experience, or even the simple sadistic scissor snip. But slugs are gratuitous creatures and frankly there are never enough ways to get rid of them. And whatever you do, they keep coming back...

CAT have been pioneers of organic gardening for over thirty years, and through our 'little book' series we bring you a fun and accessible take on working to control pests in the garden. Tackle slugs head-on with The Little Book of Slugs, celebrate the creepy-crawlies working on your behalf in The Little Book of Garden Heroes, and get to grips with 'hands-on' pest control in The Little Book of Garden Villains.
