It's called the slug and for those of you who have had problems with these in the past, you know just how devastating they can be.

You just need an empty soft drink bottle (preferably green for camouflage purposes), some stapes and some commercial slug bait from a garden shop.- To build one follow these directions Cut the top third off the empty bottle. Place a spoonful of slug bait in the bottom of the bottle Push the top portion into the body of the bottle Put enough stapes (3 or 4) around the rim to hold the parts together. This design will also help keep the poison bait away from children and pets. You can use the same trap for several weeks, then just throw it away and make a new one.
