Summary: The Spanish slug (Arion vulgaris) can grow up to 6-15 centimeters in length, has mainly a bright brown, yellowish, sometimes gray color with stripes on the body. They have become a common problem in many European countries, including Slovakia and Ukraine. These slugs cause significant damage to gardens, crops and ecosystems, making them a real threat to gardeners, farmers and environmentalists. Land mollusks are one of the most destructive agricultural pests worldwide, the management of which depends on synthetic molluscicides. However, many of these molluscicides are harmful to nontarget organisms. Hence, there is a need to develop alternative ecofriendly molluscicides that are less impactful toward nontarget organisms. Thus the necessity to evaluate essential oils as natural repellent and (or) attractable substances were appeared. This study was carried out at the Laboratory of Entomology, Faculty of Agrobiology and Food Resources at Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra. The populations of Spanish slugs A. vulgaris in amount of 117 adults were collected from the ground at a local field of the crop garden in Nitra (Slovakia) 48°18`16.7"N 18°05`41.3"E in May 2023. The adults of both sexes were used in the experiments.
