Slugs are attracted to the yeast in the beer , I just mix some bread yeast with water for bait. ….the Beer is for me 😊

Did it work mate? My garden is under attack of hundreds of slugs

Your traps are superb. My slug recipe.... 1/2 tsp brewers yeast , 1 tsp sugar, 2 T flour 2 c tepid water. Mix together, pour into containers, set in garden. Replace as needed. Drink fresh beer while dragging out the bodies.

Now this trap looks like one that will really work. I especially appreciate you showing us how to put the two containers together, so you can lift the one with the dead slugs out without having to throw out all of the beer each time...REUSABLE TRAPS...brilliant! Great footage of your step-by-step instructions, and the demonstration of how they work. Thank you so much. 💚😊💚

I find also just laying an untreated board/log flat on the ground next to the plants and lifting it up every day to grab the slugs works great! They hide under there when they aren't eating I guess. Not super feasible if you have a massive garden and/or not much empty ground space, but it's definitely helped!

Great design for a beer trap! Definitively going to try it because my garden is full of snails. Also I read that on winter/spring there are only a few snails on the garden, so if you get rid of them then, they won't reproduce (every snail can put up to 500 eggs) and you 'll reduce the population by a lot. Going to try this winter to see the next summer if it reduces them once for all

Like almost everyone here, I just want to say thank you for uploading content like these. I especially would like to thank you for your video on leaf miners since my basil plant has been dying these days and I just didnt know what was happening to it. The way you present yourself in your videos is also great. It feels as if we're just your friends and you're just casually sharing what you know. Thanks!

You’ve got the best ideas to repurpose things and make them useful! 💕

Brilliant! The coffee cup 🐌traps are neat. Thanks!

Brilliant!! Its that 2nd cup w/the holes I was lacking! Thanks again!

WOW! I'm so glad I found your videos! I just started my first vegetable garden this year. Your videos will be very helpful!

You are not only adorable, but clever, resourceful, and obviously kind. Thank you for sharing and teaching this old dog some new tricks.

Love it. Thanks for the upload and your upbeat personality

Best Snail and Slug control by far!! Love the trap designs!! I’ve found for best results start using them in early spring before they start breeding and getting out of control. Thanks mate. Another great vid.

You sir, are a genius! The double tub / cup with drill holes makes them indefinitely reusable. My broad beans are finally starting to grow healthy leaves. Thank you!

I'm happy i ran into your channel, thank you!

I recently found your videos and just wanted to say thank you for uploading great information with good editing and a still camera. You're easy to listen to and your directions are easy to follow. God bless you and keep up the good work.

Made a slug trap yesterday with 2 used starbucks cups,got 8-10 1/4" slugs last night with the cheapest beer I could find for bait.Thanks for a great idea!

I've used beer before to fend off slugs & snails & have been quite unsuccessful, so I hadn't really thought about looking at this video before. Your trap-building method takes the whole thing common sense thing to the next level - I can't wait to try it.

Thanks Project Diaries we all seem to be growing veg etc at this time and having the same problems with slugs!

Wow Thanks for this video it's perfect for my small garden there are lots of slugs God bless you 🙏💕🙏

This is a brilliant idea

Love this video..I'm making one tonight for my allotment !

That’s really helpful, thanks 🙂

Fantastic. Thanks

Thanks For Sharing!

Awesome! Thanks!!!

Thanks for your videos and the answer many thanks Jenny

I like your design, neat!

Great video. I have bought successful beer slug traps, but these are quick and easy to do. My chickens are very fond of marinated slugs too! Win win

Thank you. This worked great for me, caught loads and explains how my squah leaves were decimated while I was away for a few days.

Using this in our garden, catching many slugs in the mornings. It works!

Thank you Project Diaries this is very helpful indeed. Never knew slugs would be a sucker to alcohol my grandad would always just have me putting the slug pellets down and they're not that great so this year I'm trying old/unused copper pipes (dad doing central heating) to create a safe haven for my cabbage patch! so far so good

love your videos. We have a particular problem with slugs in our vegetable garden and with an 18 month old we have been very reluctant to put down any type of slug killer pellets, so this will be a GREAT alternative. Thank you.

I love your channel by the way. I am all about a good project. I just planted some hollyhocks and dahlias yesterday. Wish me luck! This year I am going a little smaller in the garden because I get overwhelmed and the ticks and blood sucking bugs got bad last year and scared me out of my own garden.

I will definitely try this as some slugs have eaten my delphiniums love your videos

Thank you so much! Me and my mom are always struggling to keep our garden out of slugs, I had no idea they liked bear hahah. Thank you! She'll be so happy to finally be able to get rid of the slugs, they destroyed so many of our crops

Thank you vry mch.

Hey, thank you! That looks like the best/easiest trap to use. I have a house in the Redwoods (California). There are banana slugs all over the place. Definitely worth a subscribe!

This is wonderful instruction. I don't have slug problems anymore. I compost my coffee grounds and egg shells plus I add spent coffee to the compost bubbler. Seems to discourage. I like this idea as well.

Good to hear! I've been slug free this year until the awful amount of rain last week and now they're taking over again. I hope we get more sunshine soon as all the traps in the world couldn't stop the slug army last year

Great.will try this.i also have too many of them

Brilliant Soooooo happy I found you. gonna check all your other projects which also look Great!!!! Just planted a bed of veg this summer and those pesky slugs are just eating everything but the tomatoes, been using slug pellets and they are nasty and cruel and make a right mess, also growing a lawn from scratch but these slugs are eating everything so my poor lawn is right patchy. Im the onlyone in my square to be growing a lawn, and me thinks Ive got all the slugs in the local area coming to my garden, thanks for this. You Rock !!!!!

Thank you for showing this. I don't have anything special in my garden but weeds, but I will try this, I have watched a few of your videos and enjoy watching them.... probably because I am not good at gardening anyway- just like watching so I have decided to adopt you and probably get you to do it all for me. xD

Love the music

What a superb video! I have a 2 year old and do not wish to use slug pellets of fear of him finding them and thinking they are sweets. Will any old beer do, i plan to go get some cups tomorrow. Slugs have been destroying my brocali and vegatables. I tried a plastic bottle etc but a slug just climbed straight out so will try the cups tomorrow. Thank you so much

Excellent excellent !!! I usually use a saucer, It is effective but how to dispose of the slugs. Your idea is much cleaner. I am going to buy 2 cups of coffee right now as I never save old containers... Thanks so much. I subbed. You are a good poster... thanks.
