It's a no go on the beer. I know my GM always used beer and so does my MIL, but I read up on slugs and chatted with the guy at the local nursery. He said the beer will attract them to a point, but it's the yeast they love. So I made 14 slug traps yesterday and got rid of some, but not enough. Sunday night we had hundreds crawling around. The kids and I just picked out about 50-60 and we'll keep going out nightly. We just put them all in a bucket of salt. The kids get to see them ooze as they dissolve so it's big, big fun at our house. I think I'll pay them a couple pennies a slug and let them have some fun at Dollar Tree in a few weeks.
