Do slugs like beer

Slugs are attracted to beer (or more specifically the scent from fermenting yeast).A As such, an old trick used by gardeners in slug control is to build a slug beer trap.A,B A plastic or ceramic beaker is placed in the ground and filled with home brewed beer. Slugs then climb the rim of the container and they fall in and ultimately drown.
