Slug Traps, Set of 2

Comments about Slug Traps, Set of 2:

I have had two traps in my garden for about 45 days and they have trapped grubs and earwigs, but never a slug or snail. A trap from Lee Valley meanwhile has trapped both snails and the big old slugs that were eating my tender plants. I'll be ordering more of the traps that actually work, no more of your soapstone "decorations." I don't use garden decorations like these.

I use it to gather pesky slugs. It is decorative as well as functional!

These slug traps are made of carved soapstone. The mushroom cap, which comes off for filling, has a recessed area where it sets onto the base. Since the cap is solid stone, it's weighty enough that one doesn't have to worry about it easily coming off. Two large holes in the mushroom stem provide entrances for the slugs. Very simple, but effective design. The mushroom base holds about 2 oz. of beer.

My only disappointment is that my pug is attracted to the beer, so I have to place the traps in areas he can't access.

They are a bit small and need attention often, but over all are attractive and blend with the surroundings.

I've used beer in shallow pans, usually disposable pie tins, in the garden in the past and they have worked great. The downside is they are ugly. This year I decided to invest in a more permanent solution to fighting the slugs. This has worked great and is definitely more visually pleasing in the garden.

I have these set up in my strawberry patch, where I have had slugs. I had used tuna tins before, set into the ground. However, those filled with dirt and leaves, and dried out too quickly. These are more attractive, and I'm not wasting so much beer.

I have these set up in my strawberry patch, where we have had slugs. I had tried using tuna tins, set into the ground, filled with beer, but those always filled up with dirt & leaves, and the beer evaporated too quickly. These are much more attractive and I'm not wasting so much beer.

I put them in with my strawberrys and the frist night got ten slugs. Just rember to change the beer every two to three days for best results.

These are easy to use, just set in garden and and beer, and they are very cute and unobtrusive too. I love them. I do wish that the beer lasted a little longer but there's nothing that can be done about that. Great product.

Within 10 minutes of adding the beer, we had slugs crawling in to their doom. The little mushrooms are also very decorative and add a nice touch to the garden.
