Instructions

    • 1

      Identify an area where you notice a lot of snail activity. Snails usually hang out in wet or moist areas.

    • 2

      Fill your bowl halfway to the top with beer. This prevents the snails from floating back over the rim of the bowl.

    • 3

      Place the bowl on the ground in a place where it won't be seen. The snails are strongly attracted to the beer and will drown themselves in it.

    • 4

      Empty the old beer and dead snails. Now refill the bowl with fresh beer and your ready to go again. This is a very inexpensive, yet effective, safe way to eliminate snails around your home.
