If you love your garden and your beautiful plants, like Hostas and new fresh garden veggies (lettuce) you know how annoying it is to have slugs come along and feast on your hard work!
Well, give them a feast of Beer! Just bury a small jar, cup or soupcan in the gardenbed, just with the rim at groundlevel. Fill with Beer, and the smell of it will draw them right into the "beerpool" and they will drown. They love beer more than anything, so it works.
If you have lots of slugs, you'll have to dig the jar or can out and empty it in the garbage (Don't really try to count them, it looks pretty gross!!)
It is safer for pets and small children, no chemicals and I think in the long run also cheaper.
It's also more humane than poisoning the critters, since they die drunk!
Good Luck!
