Beer is a widely effective bait. Alternatively, a mixture of 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon yeast, and 1/4 cup warm water can also attract slugs and snails.
It is recommended to check the traps daily, especially during peak slug and snail activity, and empty them as needed. More frequent checks might be necessary in heavily infested areas.
Yes, the traps are designed to function effectively even in damp conditions, which are often when slugs and snails are most active. Ensure the bait remains accessible.
This pack contains four traps, suitable for areas between 20-50 square metres. For larger gardens or heavily infested areas, you may need more traps.
Yes, these traps use natural bait and do not contain any harmful chemicals, making them safe for gardens with pets and children when used as directed.
The traps are made of durable plastic designed for outdoor use, allowing them to be reused multiple times.
The rim of the trap should be level with the soil surface to allow easy entry for slugs and snails. Bury it enough so it is stable but not too deep that pests cannot access it.
Ensure the bait is fresh and appealing. Check that the trap is properly buried and level with the ground. Try placing traps closer to affected plants or in more shaded, damp areas.
Verify that the trap is not overfilled with bait, which could allow pests to climb out. Ensure the trap's design is intact and there are no escape routes.
Empty and clean the trap more frequently. Discard old bait and replace with fresh bait. Rinsing the trap with diluted vinegar can help neutralize odors.
Increase the number of traps used or reposition them closer to the most vulnerable plants. Consider supplementing with other non-chemical deterrents around plants.
