Effective Slug and Snail Trap – Non-Toxic, Eco-Friendly Pest Control for Gardens & Outdoor Use

Product Description

Looking for an alternative to snail bait that actually works? They crawl in, start drinking and die very happy—no chemicals, just cold ones! ????

With a growing trend of people wanting to avoid snail baits, these slug and snail beer traps are a great alternative and surprisingly effective.

Easy To Use

Partially submerge your slug and snail beer traps in the veggie patch, pop the lid, and pour in 1-2cm of beer. Snails, with their surprisingly refined palates, will detect the aroma, and indulge in an impromptu pub crawl, meeting their demise in a state of blissful intoxication. Poetic, really.

Now, if the idea of sacrificing your precious brew disturbs you, there's always the budget alternative—yeast and water. But let’s be honest, that’s like serving cheap boxed wine at a five-star restaurant. Do the right thing: share the beer, let the snails party, and polish off the rest of the bottle like a responsible adult.

By the way, this model of snail trap is made to be reused over and over.

P.S. Beware of flimsy knockoffs found at the big hardwares. They may look the part, but they wont last the (slow) partying these snails get up to.? As the wise say, buy once, cry once.
Actually it’s the harsh Australian sun that affects the cheaper ones as they aren’t UV Stable.?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on reducing snail numbers

1. Do slug and snail beer traps work?

Snails have an undeniable weakness for the rich, yeasty bouquet of beer. To take advantage of their poor decision-making skills, fill a slug and snail trap with beer, nestle it partially into the soil, and let nature take its course. Drawn in by the intoxicating aroma, they'll slither in for a drink, only to realize—too late—it’s a one-way tavern. This pet-safe, chemical-free approach is both effective and oddly poetic.

2. Is there any way I can deter slugs and snails without killing them?

Physical Barriers

If you are looking for an eco-friendly way to stop them in their tracks,? crushed eggshells and diatomaceous earth form a jagged, unfriendly barrier that these hungry invaders would rather not tango with.?

Copper tape: It delivers a tiny, static-like zap that convinces them to turn back.?

3. What’s the most humane way to get rid of snails?

For those who prefer a more compassionate eviction strategy, there are a few humane options. Rounding up snails and tucking them into the freezer offers a painless, gradual farewell with the ice crystal formation of water in their cells.?

A mixture of clove oil and water works similarly, sedating them before sending them off peacefully.

Beer traps could be considered a humane approach. It doesn’t take much of the amber liquid to get them totally smashed (in a drunk happy way… not smashed as in under foot). They will be too busy singing pub songs to even notice they forgot to keep breathing.

4. What beer should I use for slug and snail traps?

When it comes to beer, slugs and snails aren’t exactly connoisseurs. Just about any brew will do the trick, but they have a noticeable fondness for light, yeasty varieties—think lagers, pilsners, hefeweizens, and blonde ales.?

5. What’s the best all-around solution for keeping snails out of my garden?

If you are going to use bait, stick to the Iron Powder based version as this poses the least risk to pets and wont cause secondary poisoning to animals that feed on snails.
Otherwise use snail beer traps for a totally safe, eco friendly approach. They really work!

Also, encouraging birds, frogs and lizards to call your garden home is a hands off approach to controlling snail numbers. These animals see them as a delicacy way before the French did!?
