SNAIL & SLUG CONTROL

SNAIL & SLUG CONTROL
SNAIL & SLUG CONTROL
Use beer set out in shallow containers eg.,. jar lids, sardine cans etc.,. place the beer traps so that the top rim of the trap is accessible by the slug/snail. They crawl in alive and stay there dead, empty traps and renew beer daily.
Coffee as a slug/snail control method:
We used an El-Cheepo instant coffee mixed at a rate of approximately 5 teaspoons to 400 mil's of water.
So far it seems to be working for us there are certainly noticable less slugs in our garden.
We just liberally sprayed the solution all over the plants and around the ground near the plants, needs to be renewed after watering or rain.
