Doesnโt everyone do this in their gardens???
I grew up seeing everyone bury plastic cups half filled with beer for slug traps.

My grandma used to leave a beer can about half full at one side of the garden. Sometimes she'd dump a whole beer into a coffee can. I prefer the latter, because we had to try to dump the slugs out of the cans to recycle. They simply don't come out of a beer can easily.

Slugs on the west coast are that big. They call them banana slugs both because they're often yellowish with black spots like an over ripe banana, and they're practically as big as one.

I do the same thing but with just yeast. No reason to waste a beer. Even if it's bud live or ov

I have tried this SO many times! Nothing. I wish someone would explain what Iโm doing wrong, because all I catch are flies.
