MAYBE.  Haven't tried it.

My problem is PILLBUGS.  They are unstoppable by anything, including DE.
I have to go to slugnsnail bait (highly toxic, and against my otherwise
organic gardening practices) to stop them.  They will eat pansies and
violas to nothing and will attack smaller or weakened plants and their
root systems meaning setting things out is risky unless you surround
them with S&S bait.

Beer and all that jazz mean nothing.  There are more and more and more.
