Question

what can i do to keep them away? I know how to get rid of them once theyre there but how do i keep them from coming? TY

Answer 1

  Beer does work miricles.. But I didn t waste a whole beer at a time ( for obvious reasons) lol I put it in plastic cups buried to the lip of the cup .. They work great.. Put around perimater of house about 3 foot away .. After a fer days if its as bad as you say you ll have to redo cups geting rid of old slugs.. I caught nearly 400 in a few days but have had little troubl since although I ve caught many in the meantime..I did it for the garden GL

Answer 2

I heard if you make a little hole in the ground and put a container of beer into it and make it ground level. They will go in there and die, I guess they like beer. My mom does this in her garden so they don't eat her plants. I was going to as-well but my dog likes beer.
