Is there a sure-fire way to get rid of Creeping Charley?
Yes they will go into the beer, and drown! But, be careful that you have no pets around to drink the beer. My dog got into it and not only drank the beer but ate the slugs as well and puked for days!
Yes, beer in a sauce will drown slugs
Thanks.... I don't have animals
Beer will work. Copper will also kill them.......for example copper wire wrapped around the pots they grow in.
Yes, it really works!
Yes🚫🐌
It does help, but you will find that skunks and racoons also enjoy a nip or two. Plus, if it rains, the beer gets diluted. Slug Bait (available where all of the other pest control products are sold) works best
found the slug bait didn't work as good as the beer.
Thanks
Yes. But also eggs shells cleaned and crushed will work and provide calcium to the soil.
