Slugs are attracted to beer (or more specifically the scent from fermenting yeast).A As such, an old trick used by gardeners in slug control is to build a slug beer trap.A,B A plastic or ceramic beaker is placed in the ground and filled with home brewed beer. Slugs then climb the rim of the container and they fall in and ultimately drown.

∙ 15y agoYes, snails like the smell of beer. Snails will damage the plants in garden if it's not treated in early stage. It will lay a maximum of 100 eggs a day. Mostly it's found in moist places. Place a dish or bucket with beer filled (not necessarily it should be strong). Keep it in a place where you saw the snails or the affected plant. After few hours you can find the snails attracted to the beer.
