It’s not the beer they are attracted to but the sugar. Try sugar water with a little yeast in it. Keep it deep enough to drown the slimy things.

Sugar water with a little boric acid too.

I will have to look up boric acid. I have borax here which is out of date.

I hate people like that who lie and take advantage. I also hate thieves. I was called for jury duty on a theft case that was felony theft. I told the district attorney that a thief is a murderer of your labor and he liked my saying. I then told the man's attorney that his grandma needed to take him behind the woodshed and give him a whipping with a peach switch. I was not chosen for that jury.......gee, I wonder why!

You are an honest speaking person, same here. . We are out of date, in this time we are not supposed to say how we feel. Then the law wonders why it can never contain problematic people and make them learn a lesson.

1% boric acid and nectar is a common sugar lure. It will kill mosquitos too, especially if you add some yeast.

Will that draw bees and kill them too?

Put out at night when slugs are active. Put away during day when bees are out.

The danger of poison is lack of focus. I would think so.

Crushed egg shells. It hurts their bodies to crawl on them. Not poisonous.

that would be much the same for diatomacious earth, but in a wetter climate you'd have to keep reapplying some fresh powder after each rain. i'm not sure how the eggshells would work.
