To prevent all your hard work from going to waste this spring and summer, one green-fingered woman took to TikTok to share her go-to remedy to banish slugs from the outdoor space for good.

Meg, known as @ on social media, has since received praise after demonstrating the simple trick that costs under £1.

In the video, she explained that something had been snacking on her pepper plants, leaving them ''look awful'', with bits ripped off the leaves.

Upon further inspection, the gardening super fan quickly realised what the culprit was - hungry slugs, which had also left a gooey, slimy trail behind.

''I usually don't like unaliving things in the garden but I have seen slug damage everywhere, not just on my peppers."

Green-fingered Meg, whose tips and tricks have won her over 570k followers on the platform, then shared that slugs are attracted to the yeast in beer.

The rest is pretty straightforward - simply make what she likes to call ''slug traps'', by pouring the ''unlikely'' beverage into a bowl and placing it near the affected area.

The following morning, Meg popped down to check on her traps and discovered a handful of slugs dead inside the beer bowls.

Sharing her thoughts, she went on in the caption: ''I know some will say this is a waste of beer, or that it’s awful to get rid of slugs that way- but I can’t just let them eat all of my plants that I worked so hard for.

''Bye, bye slugs!''

, any beer will do - even a non-alcoholic one.

''Slugs, attracted by the smell of malt, are supposed to fall into the dish and drown.
