I've been pretty annoyed with the damage slugs have done to my garden. They have attacked my pepper plants something fierce! I tried fighting back the organic way - with egg shells - to no avail. Also tried a spray-on pesticide, but it has to be reapplied every time you water your garden - and of course it gets into the ground water. So that was unacceptable. Then I heard about beer traps:
Boy oh boy, were they effective! It seems slugs are most active at night, so I put 7 traps out at dusk. All seven were full this morning. I'll spare you the ugly sight that greeted me - but I trapped and killed around 200 of those nasty buggers!
Now my son says its a terrible waste of beer, but I'm pleased as punch!
