Home made slug baits.

I have a real problem with slugs this year so I am trying different concoctions in plastic cups as bait to try to get rid of some of them.

I tryed the slug dough. it had some results but not what i needed it to do.

So I am trying a new one. I pureed some lettuce parts, left from dinner. I added per quart of lettuce puree 2 tablepoon of sugar and 1 quart of water. ( it's pretty soupy)

for 5 different traps I added to the base bait for each different cup either

2 drops of lemon dish soap or,

1 teaspoon of salt or,

1 teaspoon corn meal or

or 1/2 teaspoon yeast

or nothing.

I will be checking the traps each morning.

So far the one with corn meal was the one left over night and I found 10 in it this morning. Looking for even better performance.
