This works really well in dry or wet weather.As you may know, garden snails just can't resist beer, in fact they really really love it. We went out each night about one hour after dark to set the beer traps. I used old pie dishes from the kitchen. They were made from metal which worked well.

Just fill the snail trap dish with beer and leave it, go inside, relax and let the snails have a party outside with your beer. Garden snails have very quiet parties so you will still get a good nights sleep.
When you arrive back in the morning its probable:· you won't see any snails as the early birds will have taken them for their breakfast.· or some will be lying up-side-down in the dish drunk and totally incapable of eating your plants.
I have been asked if snails prefer full strength or light beer. We only used full strength beer as I wanted them to get drunk, fall asleep where they were and not wander off to eat my seedlings.
