Slugs

Not if you leave food out.
I think you'll find they'll eat the food. :confused: Duh!

Hedgehogs are never satiated. They are greedy little beasts.

If you leave some strong-smelling cat food out (not fish based/flavoured cat food; fish is bad for hedgehogs) that will attract the beasts and they will eat the cat food AND the slugs in your garden.

Slug pellets are effective in killing slugs, but they are also effective in inflicting illness and death on hedgehogs. Unfortunately, Hedgehogs are prone to eat slugs that have consumed slug pellets.

Thats why saucers of MILD beer for the slugs is a safer way, and boy it works those complaining about slugs put about four deepish saucers so they can get in out - where they see the slime the next night will be surprised the next am when the see how many of the slugs our drowned or so sloshed they cant move, then you kill them with your foot;)
 

@Joey66 and @gorgeousgeorgeEFC, enjoy it while you can. Your empirical wisdom is soon to be buried under a mound of wikipedia copy and pastes
I don't care for some reson MILD beer is an magnet to slugs tried lager bitter no effect on them - another problem in your garden can occur is cats doing their business in your garden day after day or foxes coming in a great deterrent is your human urine p into a milk bottle, ans sprinkle it in that area late pm they smell that and feel threatened works definitely on cats as they are territorial creatures they never crap on there own doorstep!
Only on your lawn or flower borders be warned the urine will burn your lawn area , but will grow back sprinkle in in a circle where they mess!;)
40 years of knowledge poassed down to me from great horticulturist, from Liverpool parks, and qualifications as high as you can get!

Joey, if you or your great horticulturist mate know of a proven, tried and tested remedy against whitefly, my missus would be eternally grateful ;) Her crop of Kale has been plagued with the little sods... and spraying them with garlic doesn't seem to work.
