Is there any preffered beer ?
Guiness better than Youngs Special ?

says pellets are nasty

I had a crate of very cheap mexican stuff which I understandably didn't
drink so it got left for a year in the garage after which it was very
fruity. It works like a dream in slug-traps.

Is there any preffered beer ?

When we lived in Surrey, we had better results with cheap Belgian beer
(we used to get it in Tesco's, 24 small green bottles for about 5ukp)
than we did with the Heineken left behind after a party.
The Leicester slugs didn't seem to be interested in beer.

I always use the cheapest. I can't imagine treating these loathsome
creatures to any of the good stuff you have in Britain. Now that we're
finally producing some good beer here in the states, my inclination to use
the cheapest is even stronger. It can also be stale, flat, or otherwise
unused or unsuitable for drinking beer of any make, as far as I know.

A mix of a little yeast and a lot of water will work just as well and
is considerably cheaper. Ordinary baker's yeast, dried or fresh. Add a
little sugar to the mix and it will grow, so you can use even less
yeast.

Better still, why not have a go at brewing your own? Buy a 5 gallon beer kit
and if it turns out okay, bottle and drink it yourself. If not keep it for
the slugs and the snails. You'll have lots of fun brewing and they'll all
die happy if it all turns out unfit for human consumption.

I'm rather surprised that someone dislikes the lead singer of Madness
so much that they've started a website. He always struck me as quite a
pleasant chap.

Anything sufficiently malty. It seems (to me) to be the smell of the
malt that attracts them.

I used to use the dregs from the bottom of my 5 gallon homebrew for the
slugs. It did the job nicely. It got a bit tedious emptying the dish of
slugs and refilling with dregs. Since I don't brew my own anymore its back
to the blue pellets of death.

A long deceased market gardener friend of ours told us that slugs were
attracted to sugar in plants-transplanted lettuces contained more sugar
and this is why he preferred to thin out his lettuce seedlings rather than
transplant.
Slugs have definite potato preferences. King Edwards are a favorite with
slugs and this may be related to higher sugar levels.
Beer with added sugar, fermenting mixture or sweet stout seem to be good
bets
