Re: slug beer preferences

I've had good success with drowning slugs in beer. I use a tuna can and sink it to soil level...sometimes I put little twigs to guide the slimy creatures to their last imbibe.

Wet/damp newspaper left on the ground at night also can collect quite a few slugs or snails. Grapefruit rinds also collect several as can a board placed on the soil.

I also had no luck with the beer. I put it out, went out with a flashlight
and saw several in the beer and felt I had succeeded. The next morning, they
were gone. So I guess they climbed in, got drunk and staggered home.
