I was late to the party on this one & my sprouts only just recovered enough to grow. The slugs round here love tesco value bitter The trouble is it seems for every one I kill, another 5 come for the funeral.

The beer traps really really do attract and kill the slugs, but the only thing is, is that I'm convinced that they actually just end up attracting all the slugs from the local area.

Also you don't need to buy traps, just bury a jam jar or cut the top off a plastic pop bottle, fill it with Beer (bitter) and watch it fill with slugs thereafter!
