I have been wondering why I have not seen anyone talking about beer and slugs on the forum. Someone mentioned that they make a "brew" of yeast and sugar and that does the trick but saves your DH's beer.

I love that you use baby food containers. That is what I use in the lettuce garden.

Just drink the beer,and spray ammonia & water on the slugs! Phil

I didn't like the smell of old beer and slugs.

Beer is always a good idea! I have not seen any slugs yet this year in zone 5a, even after using pellets. But last year I used bug-geta and then had a beer next day while counting dead slugs.

The beer still tastes the same after you strain the slugs out.

harryshoe, I think you're on to something - a gardeners brew - slug amber or snail ale - "slides down easy with just a hint of hosta". Leave the slug in like the tequila worm, hmmm....

Slug walks into a bar...

Yuck, I detest slugs, don't want to dispose of their disgusting dead bodies, lol. I use slug bait and on occasion 10% ammonia drench/spray.

Why do you have to dispose of them, they will dry up and become mulch, then have a beer.

Because rotting slugs attract flies, lol!!
Beer is ok but I prefer wine and when it's really hot a nice gin and tonic with a twist of lime works well in the garden.

Try it as a dip with pretzels.

I don't have slugs, and I don't know why yall do.

I use the slug bait from Home pepo that is the Eco brand of Safer slug bate. Its not toxic to anything other than slugs and if you start using it before it warms up you will win the fight everytime.I don't have any holes in but one hosta and that hosta is ten miles away. I keep a bottle at every garden that I take care of. If the kids eat it no worries, it the dog eats no worries, slugs no worries. It only cost five dollars a bottle and I dont need more then two per garden site in a year.
