Unfortunately slugs don’t have too many predators, I’ve never seen any birds eat them, I collected them up once and put on the bird table, they were untouched. I’ve had a pond for a few year, covered in spawn, loads of frogs, millions of slugs🤢🤮
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
I'm afraid Philippa is right. If you really have a slug problem frogs won't be able to make much difference. I collect between 200 and 400 most nights during the season. How many frogs would I need to eat that lot?
I recently planted a few white Salvia nemorosa, thinking slugs wouldn't touch it - decimated in one night I have now surrounded the plants with a thick ring of coffee grounds (worth a try?) and sprinkled a very few of the Sluggo pellets around - they are supposed to be 'wildlife friendly' - I hope they are.
