Kill Garden SLugs Naturally



My garden is full of snails. I knew someone who used to put out beer in pie plates to kill snails and so I googled how to do it.  I found out that they are attracted to the yeast in the beer. Since I don't drink,  I googled to see if you could use plain yeast to kill snails and you can!  

Here's what you need.  You don't need to be exact at all, but here are some approximate measurements:
2 cups warm water
2 Tb sugar or honey
1-2 Tb yeast
2 Tb salt (optional)

Basically you need enough sugar to feed the yeast so it will grow.  It should get all foamy. 
 I also read that snails/ slugs are attracted to the smell of honey, so you can add that too.  I've tried both and didn't notice a difference and sugar is a lot cheaper.

Some sites also said to add salt.  It will kill them, but I don't think snails could climb out of my little death traps, so I don't add it.



After your mixture gets all foamy find some containers, I used this small glass jar, but you could use whatever ( bottom half of a juice or soda can, an old laundry soap scoop, baby food jars etc.). 
You are going to completely bury the container in the ground so you don't want it too big, but you want it deep enough that the snails can't climb out. 

NASTY!

I've been doing this for a week.  The first day, I got about 6-7, and now there are only 1-2 every few days.  I just empty the traps and add some more mixture.

Cheap, easy, and chemical free!
If you have some extra beer lying around, you would just substitute it for the yeast mixture.

  10. Herpes has been one of the most significant virus in the US now, and its spreading really fast, and the government are only producing medical drugs that can suppress it but rather keep on eliminating the African herbal doctors who were able to discover a way to completely cure the virus...I'm delighted to be finally cured of herpes 2 after i applied doctor Oyagu herbal medicine for two weeks ,,, I can tell you, I went back a month later to confirm my status and i was still negative.. If i could get cured, why do you think You can't?, you believe in the lying government and medical scientists and keep spending money on buying their stupid pills.. I'm glad I am finally cured from it forever...apply oyaguherbalhlm@gmail.com herbal formula.
