As many a gardener in my neck of the woods (the PNW) knows, slugs are the enemy of the spring garden. Before we can control the timing of watering in the garden because it’s still raining off and on, the slugs seem to have free rein to feed as they please on our baby plants. Ive tried a couple methods to control them with no success, but I’ve seen people have success with beer traps so I designed and printed these to give it a try and we’ve been catching slugs every night! There are many beer traps available for pretty cheap, but I specifically wanted something more robust than the flimsy ones I found so that I can use them for several years, and one that unscrews so I can easily dump out the nasty critters.
The big ones worked so well I decided to make a scaled down version for the smaller beds where space is at a premium.

I’ll take 4000. Thanks.
Oh my goodness….is this a file I can buy? I have a 3d printer and need this lol
Where and how do you “dump” the slugs? Are they edible to chickens or other fowl?
And here I am using old cottage cheese and sour cream containers. 😅😆😂
You can make a blend of yeast/water and sugar so you don’t need to waste beer… Works the same, super effective
