I HATE SNAILS

The thread reminded me that I hadn't de-slugged/snailed for a couple of weeks so I put out just one trap last night. I didn't have any beer so I used cider not knowing if it would work but vaguely remember hearing that what attracted the pests was the residual yeast so thought it might just get a few.

This is the result:

Sorry folks no snails but about 7 or 8 fat slugs, which I can't even cook

Beer is more efficient so from one 4 inch cider trap's results it's straight down to the off-licence for me this a.m. and I'll send the invitations round the garden for a party tonight.

Eeeee! You 'ull people are all the same. No taste. Slugs are far tastier than gherkins. But I wonder if other peeps have alcoholic visitors. Must try mine on G & T.

The beer traps are now down for tonight. All invited.
