Snail trap

The trap for snails is designed for monitoring and catching snails in home gardens, vegetable gardens and farmland. The trap is used to catch both slugs and shell snails. Particularly for catching the spotted slug (Deroceras reticulatum) and the Lusitania slug (Arion lusitanicus). These species are among the most harmful. The trap is a special container with a roof that protects against weather conditions and shadows the place of the bait. Snails usually feed in damp and shady places. It is enough to supplement the trap with popular food products that attract snails. For this reason, the trap is completely safe for people, animals and beneficial insects. Thanks to the use of the trap, you can safely reduce the number of snails without using any chemical substance. The slug trap is made of plastic, which allows it to be reused after emptying.

Properties:

• ecological protection of the garden against snails

• easy to use
• reusable

Method of application

• Yeast mixed with water
• Honey and yeast mixed with water
• Cooking oil with water

• Sliced potatoes, carrots, lettuce leaves

In the place where snails stay or move, make a hole in the ground for the container.

1. Half-fill the trap container with bait - e.g. beer.
2. Remove the top cover of the trap, and place the container in the previously made hole and carefully cover it with soil, so that the rim of the container is level with the ground surface.
3. Put on the top cover to protect the trap from dirt and rain.
4. Cover the container by leveling its upper edge with the ground level.
5. Check the trap regularly. When the trap is full of snails, rinse it with water and put it back in the previous place and supplement it with bait.
