Default Slugs and beer

"Lemmonie" wrote in message

Over the last few months the slugs have been out in force in my garden
eating everything they can. I have tried two different types of slug
pelletts but as an owner of two kitties i was limited in my choice.

So, I had heard about slugs and beer and last night despite the
protests of my husband i took some of his beer and some small pots and
placed them around the garden.

This morning much to my delight the little beer-laden pots were full of
slugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

Now, I intended to repeat this victory tonight but the question is do i
need to put fresh beer in every night or will the slug/beer mixture
continue to work?

I reckon to leave my beer in place for about a week, then change it. Seems
to keep working quite well, but as someone else says the pots can fill up
with slugs.
