• Circling back to slugs/snails. Was doing a bit of gardening this weekend and found some beer traps that were probably set about 6 weeks ago. They were very successful it seems, but also successful in attracting flies and the smell was horrendous once disturbed. Think I may not do beer traps again...

    Oh and it was wheat beer so maybe that contributed to the foul smell...

  • Have read that beer traps attract slugs from quiet a distance, slugs that wouldn't be bothering you otherwise. If they don't drown in the beer, they take a drink then go on a drunken rampage on your plants!
