Who is Afraid of the Giant Snail?

Sober this pest with beer and eliminate it from your garden.

Pour beer – old or newly opened – into shallow flat can and bury it to the rim in a place where this mollusk pest abounds. Leave the setup overnight. Very early in the morning you will find plenty of them in various sizes grouped around the can like a waterhole - sober. Gather the snails and crush them. Snail meat may be substituted to fish meal as animal feed.~
