Slug Bait Recipes
Recipe 1
2 cups warm water
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon yeast
Recipe 2
2 tablespoons flour
1 /2 teaspoon brewer's yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cups warm water
Directions:
Water should not be hotter than 110° or the yeast will be killed. Mix ingredients and pour into slug trap.
Make a slug trap from a recycled plastic food container such as a large margarine tub. Just under the upper rim of the container cut several 1 inch holes ( flat at the bottom and big enough to accommodate a large slug.) Sink the plastic container in your garden dirt, letting the top stick out with the holes very slightly above soil level. Pour a couple inches of slug bait into the container. Snap the lid back onto the container to keep out rain and debris. Clean out drowned slugs daily and replace liquid every couple days.
