Yay or nay?

It does work in traps but they are susceptible to the watering down effect of dampness from rain or even dew..

Never worked for me.




Mainly coz the beer never gets to traps  8)

 WHY WASTE BEER????

I find it very difficult buying even the cheapest lager from the supermarket FOR THE SLUGS!

And don't say use the dregs from  the bottle - I never have any!

Wonder if I could persuade local pub to let me have some?

DO love seeing all those pickled bodies flaoting in the beer though

I just use plastic cups sunk into the ground with a plate propped on top to keep out the rain. works great.

I make a drink with half teaspoon of marmite in a mug and use that instead of beer. Has worked well for me. Some might think that is a good use for marmite.
