Removal Of Slug From Machines

By Shirley Wagner


Slug is a slimy bug which is a snail without shell. They usually eat the crops, vegetation and other manmade structures like machines. This is a huge problem in factories and industries. They feed on the metals and screws which get rusted because of their slime. This can eventually cause damage to machines. Slug retention is the solution for dealing with slug problems.

Snails and slugs are one of the amphibian categories which are called as gastropods. They are different from frogs. The snails carry their homes along with them in the form of shell. Some snails cannot live in their shell which is called as semi slug. A slug is a species that does not have shell at the back.

Pests are basically the bugs, insects or animals that destroy crops and pose threat to the ecosystem. The species like locust, cricket, moths, slug and snails feed on crops and vegetation. Other animals like rabbit, rat, squirrel, beaver and vampire bats feed to the livestock and spread diseases. They also destroy the crops which causes a heavy loss in agriculture.

In order to solve the bug issue in agriculture there are chemicals that are sprayed on the crops to protect from fungal growth and insects. They kill the animals that feed on the plant. On the flipside these chemical are very dangerous if consumed by humans and other animals.

Other than agriculture there are insects which can reside in our homes and cause problems. The bugs like fly, mosquitoes and cockroaches and feed on our food and cause infections. Species like ants, termites and slugs and get into our machines like computers, printers and furniture and cause it to break or malfunction. There are sprays and pest control available for household to protect against them.

There are other environmental factors that can affect a metal. These objects when comes in contact with air or water forms a layer called as rust. This reaction can sometimes weaken the metal utensils or machine and eventually they break. We can see the iron turns red, silver forms a black layer and copper becomes green.

Other than insects or animals there can be other factors for mass crop destruction. The natural calamities like flood, rain or drought can damage the vegetation. There has been a rise in the farmer suicide rate as they are unable to survive in poor condition. Government should have plans to save the peasants in such situations. This leads to production and revenue loss.

The insects and bugs are very integral part of the food chain. It is a fact that if they do not exist even the human beings will not survive. For example if the fly and bugs are not there the dead will not get decomposed so it will cause lot if diseases. Though they cause problems in the farm or home the solution is not to eradicate them.

When we face any inconvenience at home or farm due to insects or animals the point is not to eradicate them. These bugs play a critical role in the ecosystem. They are the reason behind maintaining the food chain. As humans we must protect them and conserve natural resources.
