What is a Beer Slug Trap Lid?

A beer slug trap lid is a reusable cover that fits snugly over jars or tins of beer bait. The smell attracts slugs to climb inside and keeps them enclosed, without harming pets or helpful wildlife.

The SlugVault is designed to allow you to kill slugs without releasing toxic pellets, or to trap them and later release them on your compost heap or far away from your home.

How to Use — Step-by-Step

1. Choose a container — A standard-sized tin (75mm) or a glass jar works best.
2. Add beer bait — Pour 4–5 cm of beer (or yeast mix) into the container.
3. Fit the lid — Stretch the SlugVault lid securely around the rim — don’t overstretch it.
4. Place in the garden — Bury it partially so the opening is slightly above the level of the soil.
5. Check regularly — Every 1–3 days, empty, rinse, and refresh the bait.

Pro tip: Keep your beer traps in the shade — the beer aroma will stay strong for longer and is important for humane trapping.
