Do you know how much I miss those commercials?!

If you take a small container like a tuna tin, fill it with beer, and set it on the ground. The slugs will be attracted to the beer, go for a sip, fall in and drown. Don't submerge the top of the tin even with the soil level or you might also kill ground beetles which eat slugs. Keep rims at least 1″ above soil level.


sugar + baking yeast was as effective as some beers, but not as effective as Budweiser, but beer is a staple so drink the beer and use the sugar and yeast

Vinegar is a good ingredient for slug spray

lol

[BullChick]

The only other thing I can think of that might work is a cheap brand of pyrethrum surface spray
