Pet-Safe Slug Products

Dark Ale beer... :-) We found that cheap dark ale worked better than cheap beer. We found that pans of them would collect over a dozen slugs per night until we wiped out most of the population, now it's slowed down a bit.

It is totally 100% pet safe, and won't attract or kill other insects except accidently.

It works!

It's the yeast in the beer, so putting some yeast in water works well, too.

Oh! Cool! That might be cheaper too. :-)

Will try it and report, thanks!!!

Sluggo is available on online:

Don't balk at the price. A little goes a long way--I've used the same container of it for two summers and still have some left. To me it is a lot simpler than fussing around with saucers of beer.

will the cats eat chickens? the chickens are murder on the slugs, and quite organic.

iron phosphate. I use nothing but sluggo. beer just does not work as well. once you have few slugs, 1-2 ounces every 100 sqft will pretty much control them, so it lasts a long time.

All that ever happens when I use beer is I find cigarette butts and party hats all over the place in the morning.

Diatomatious Earth. It is a white powder product made of ground up something from the ocean. It cuts the slugs under bellies up when they crawl across it, and yet can be used to feed pets to de-worm them.

The only problem is that it has to be reapplied after each watering or rain.
