First of all I thought when we left NY they were not in Florida. I do not see box upon box of the slug baits in the stores.
As to using beer-TEASING but in NY they held out for the more expensive imported stuff. FYI-they have no class at all.Simple yeast and sugar fermenting in water works just fine.
Someone mentioned salt. Salt will kill or damage your plants also it will desolve with the first rain or any watering. Try any of the hot peppers. You can buy them or grow them yourself. They are actually pretty plants. Ground hot pepper in a ring around your plants will last several weeks.
