I've used beer with very good results.

I guess if you had neighborhood cats or dogs this would not work.

But...a little beer goes a long way with slugs. And you should see the
slimy trails when slugs are intoxicated...very interesting to see indeed.

I just pour small amount into coffee can plastic lids (has to be low
enough
for slug to crawl over) and what does not evaporate must get inhaled by
slugs...they seem not to know the difference between black label and
Killian's. My friend wonders if slugs like "Mike's hard lemonade"...but I
haven't cared enough to experiment.


I don't understand why people insist that containers of beer have to be low.
The slugs in my area can climb several feet up pants to get to the tasty
parts. I put out containers of yeasted sugar water recently that were about
4 inches tall and they didn't have any problems climbing up the slick
plastic cups to get at the solution.
