General purpose bug trap:
1) Cut the 1/3 top off a 2-liter plastic soda bottle.
2) Cut off the top of that, just big enough to allow snails thru.
Invert modified top and connect it to bottom of jug
for a one-way funnel trap. Seal with masking tape, ...whatever.
3)Bury in ground to keep cool and dark, with open funnel
near ground surface.
4) Bait with a little stale beer, the yeast odor will
attract snails & slugs from 10+ feet away. Or use wet
yeast. (Use wimpy American yellow beer. Do not use stuff
like Arogant ******* Ale, it's too hoppy, and too potent.

Do step 2) first, for ease of cutting.
Serving suggestions:
Use plenty of garlic, and
drink 2 bottles of Arogant ******* Ale first.
Will the recycler take the bottle if it's full of snails?
