Slugs are attracted to chemicals given off by the fermentation process. The most popular bait has been beer. However, not all beers are created equal. In 1987, a study at Colorado State University Entomology Professor Whitney found that Kingsbury Malt Beverage, Michelob, and Budweiser attracted slugs far better than other brands.
Try a mixture of 1 tablespoon (T) yeast, 1 T flour, 1 T sugar, and 1-2 cup warm water (110 - 115 degrees F). Let stand 10 -15 minutes until the surface gets foamy.
