<p>It's this thing where you over-purchase terrible tasting beer for an event (Wedding, Bar Mitzvah, Communion(?), College Graduation, etc.) and you have tons left over because everyone went to the micro-brew you bought specifically for yourself and a few hipsters/beer snobs. So then it spends 5+ years in the fridge because you can't bring yourself to throw it away. I'm 16, so I call it "slug-killer beer", rather than what most people call it: "PBR". <img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Grin.gif"></img></p>

<p>I used a beer bait if I had any doubts. Must be some stale beer around??? Putsome in a shallow bowl, they crawl in and drown in what I assume is a state of bliss. The chickens might like beer (battered) slugs.</p>

Good to hear, Jesse. I am perplexed, however, why Sluggo molds when it gets wet? And pellets that have found their way in my raft bed actually end up floating and making a slime ball on the bottoms of the rafts. Anyway, still all good for safely killing snails, and OMRI approved.
