# Make a beer trap.
Marg tub three quarters filled with beer buried in the soil. Works a treat or just go out at night with a torch and get the bastards.

# beer traps slowed them down, and I definitely killed a few when I went out with a headtorch
but they still finished off my first crop of peas and beans, the little buggers

eventually I caved and bought organic enviro-friendly slug pellets from the garden shop, which stopped them dead

# Ah but how you finish them off is
put a little kebab house with a one way door next to it. THey have the beer then think they could murder a kebab and end up trapped.
