About this model

This is a slug trap for killing slugs in the garden. Print, fill about 2/3 the way full with beer (probably any kind), put the lid on, and place in the garden. Slugs will be out more when it's raining or has recently rained; the lid helps the water run off so the rain won't dilute the beer and make the trap ineffective. You can also find a little bit more of a write-up with some info on a couple other printable garden accessories here:
