That's the beauty of the POP bottle beer trap or blue pellet of death trap once full of sluggy bodies, just pour out the liquid and put in a sack and throw them away complete with sluggy bodies. The way my kids go thru POP and I go thru fizzy water I only need 30 pop bottles for two traps per bed. By start of next year I shall have many more than that ready to deploy.

Wouldn't it be better to be able to empty them out and put back in to catch more sluggies?  Then no need to keep making.

I'll have a making session and see if they can be emptied and reused as I'm sure I'd tire of making up new ones all the time...

It's only the beer ones that I would rather junk, the ones housing the blue pellets of death only need the lids removed and topped up with fresh pellets once in a while, you don't even need to lift them, just deal with them when you are weeding.
