Default slugs bait eaten...... by cats?


Philippe, I have not heard of this product before but has just viewed

the
greedgardener web site.

What is the advantage over just using beer on its own?

Well, I'm not sure, but I think the special bait is much more effective
to attract slugs and snails. I can confirm that in my garden, the trap
with beer + bait seem to get far more than the one with just beer.
having said that, it was quite expensive and as I was saying, this
"special" bait looks to me like a mix of sugar and yeast...

That makes me think I should experiment and make my own, not sure of the
proportions but if I just added a spoonful of baking (or brewer's yeast) in
a 2 litre bottle of water with a spoon of sugar. This would certainly me
cheaper than using beer.
