But, but that means less beer for me! Haha. Was just searching on here and saw that the beer works. Think I may have to crack one open and drink half, and give the slugs the rest. Do I put it in a bowl, or just leave it in the bottle?

Awesome. Thanks for the info! Does it work for snails too?

Just checked my beer trap. Nada. Only beer I had was blue moon, obviously they don't like it as I still found slugs and snails around the plants but none in the trap. Which beer works best?

The brand shouldn't matter, but a Pi plate about 1/2 full is what CJ use to use. (we don't have slugs where we live anymore). It has to be deep enough for them to drown. maybe try Coors, your slugs might be redneck. lol

Lol. Might have to pick up a pie pan from work tomorrow. Only have it in a small plate atm, might not be deep enough for them to drown. Thanks for the advice. Appreciate it!

Beer traps work but also put a plywood board 3x4 on ground flat. When the sun comes up they will go under the board. Then pick up board and kill them and repeat over and over.
