Hi, I have just won a crate of lager that I don't drink, but I do have an allotment. I know that slugs love beer, but can lager be used instead as a slug lure? (I have given as many cans away as my friends want so am trying to think of other ways to use it!)

Just pour a little into something like a soup bowl they will fall over themselves to get into it, they drown eventually,(sometimes they have to get out to pee) lol

Hope it's not foster lager cos that would be a criminal waste

Maybe if you put the beer in jam jar like containers dotted around the allotment it might work. I think you might have to sink the jar in the groungd a little , I don't know how well slugs smell, (Do they smell, I don't know?) Anyway I'm sure it would be a fun experiment and if it worked you've solved your lager and slug problem in one.

The slugs will quite happily accept lager instead of beer, emptying the containers full of slimy, bloated, lager soaked dead slugs is not a prospect I envy though.

dig some plastic cups into the ground so the top of the cup is level with the ground level.

pour about and inch of beer into the bottom of the cup - the slugs will drop right in.

My friend used the dregs from his home brew and they just could not drown themselves quick enough!

I think they may prefer it with a dash of lime!
