When I first had a snail problem I tried beer and it
worked but I don't drink so I wasn't always sure where
to pick it up. Someone told me that what they really go
for is the yeast so I just put a tablespoon (1 packet)
of yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water with a pinch of sugar.
Let it sit for a while (it will foam a bit) and then
pour in jar lids and sit it out.

Good luck,
Gayle

I have a horrible snail problem, they munched up all the leaves on
several marigolds over night...all that is left is the stems. I read
that you can put out a bowl of beer as bait. Does this work? Drives me
nuts to do this much work to have snails eat my goods after so much
work nurturing from seeds.
