i find that slugs and snails have no interest in eating tomato plants
at all. I think its their strong tomatoey smell. I thought they didnt
eat the fruits either but i did find last year that a few of my
sungella fruits got munched. I guess being yellow / very sweet they
either have something slugs / snails like or are missing something they
dont like. Either way it was only one or two fruits so no great loss.
Conclusion: dont bother with your slug/snail killer.

Thanks you all for the answers , one more quick question if i may.
I am currently protecting the plants with slug/snail killer. At what
stage should i no longer need to use slug/snail killer ? Is there a
certain size ?
