Product information "Beer slug trap | set of 4"

Catch slugs with household items – with the GARDIGO slug trap in a handy set of 4.

Beer traps as slug protection without poison have proven themselves in practice. The molluscs find the yeasty smell irresistible.

Which kind of beer to use

Any beer will do. Cheap ones often work the best, as they tend to have a particularly high yeast content, which is what the slugs find so attractive. It is similar to the smell of fermenting fruit or berries, on which they feed on. Even non-alcoholic beer will do the trick.

Placement

Since beer can strongly attract snails and slugs, do not set the traps directly in the garden bed, but around it. Or better yet, at the property line. After all, you don't want voracious slugs finding your vegetables on their way to the trap. In addition to beer as an attractant, you can of course also try other home recipes like marmite or mixtures containing yeast.

You can also sink the traps into the ground. The gap under the lid is narrow enough that adult roman snails cannot fit through. This is important because these are not considered garden pests and are under environmental protection.

Protecting hedgehogs

To prevent hedgehogs from plundering the snail traps, we recommend weighing down the lid with a stone. When animals feed on the trapped slugs, it is best to use non-alcoholic beer as an attractant.
