The Pit® - Slug an Snail Trap Instructions

The Pit - Slug & Snail TrapYour Kit Includes:  3 trap tops, 3 trap bodies

How To Assemble:

  • Choose three areas throughout your garden and flower beds and dig holes about the size of the trap body.
  • Place the trap into the ground so that the trap body is flush with the ground.
  • Place bait in trap.  (See Suggested Baits below.)
  • Gently snap the top onto the trap body.

To Remove and Reuse: Gently remove trap top, lift trap out of ground and dispose of contents in trash.  Rinse out trap and it is ready to reuse.

Suggested Baits

BEER: Studies show that fermented yeast in beer is great attractant.  Tests have shown that non-alcoholic beer works best.  Fill the trap to about ½ inch from the top with fresh beer.  Clean and refill every other day.

SLUG DOUGH: According to our friends at Organic Gardening, a great bait is a home brew that can be kept in your refrigerator:  1 Tbs. Molasses, 3 Tbs. Cornmeal, ½ c. flour, ½ c. water, and ½ Tbs. Yeast

OTHER BAITS: Place into trap fermenting bread dough, lettuce, cabbage, sliced potatoes or turnips placed in salty or soapy water.
