is that ok?
beer traps as extra precaution.
I tried cutting them in half, but the birds wouldn't eat them. My OH is an animal lover and made me feel guilty so now I put them in our green recycling bin. Although that batch was in a cut up carton so it just went in the general waters bin... and starving to death amongst the smell of a pair of children's fermenting nappies seems pretty dark.
On beer traps, sorry if you already know this but they've got to be very well set up. Otherwise it just attracts them and the majority have a little drink and carry on while a couple falling in makes you think it's working.
On the eggshells Ymmv. For my sunflowers last year egg shells did fuck all. But then much of my garden has multiple layers of plants and foliage so I think they just travel on that.

I have loads of espresso grounds but which according to EU was illegal to use as a deterrent, now cuz of brexit is it ok? Not sure.
Mine seems to mostly be snails - whats the designated method of disposal? I've been leaving them on the deck and birds take them, is that ok? Think I might make a coupe of beer traps as extra precaution.
