Default snail repellent

"OmManiPadmeOmelet" wrote in message

I've successfully used beer pans for both slugs and snails for

years.
I've found that a dark Ale attracts even more.

I've just quit posting about it because I got too many flames.

sigh

But it works so why would you get flamed?

The other things that works are derris dust and corflakes mixed to a
mush and if you were in the UK then you'd probably know to use Marmite
and water or in Aus you'd use Vegemite and water.

The thing that both Marmite and Vegmite have in common with beer, is
that they are yeast based and snails and slugs die when they slobber
on yeast. But doesn't everyone know that? :-))
