    If this is a raised bed you can use copper banding which the slugs and snails cannot cross due to a reaction to the copper.

    We are often asked 'what is eating my plants?' and it is difficult to say what is the culprit. Nocturnal animals are out to eat and if food sources are low, they will dine on just about anything.
    You can set out a field camera and try to capture the culprit. Then you can determine the best way to protect your plants. If you don't have one see if you can borrow one from someone.

    You can try fencing or even motion triggered lights. Hanging aluminum pie plates to scare off the offenders.

    Try setting several mouse traps around the area and see if you catch a small rodent.
    Get creative!
