The beer and oat trap works by luring in slugs, and as they enter and drink the beer, they become intoxicated and can't get back out.
The gardening pro said: "A jar half full of beer, buried up to its neck in the ground works well, even better with a handful of oats mixed in it.".
Slugs and snails have a real thing for the yeasty, fermented scent of beer, even more than the fresh aroma of your plants.
Remember, these slow movers need a nearby beer trap so they don't have to slug it too far from their usual haunts.
Gardening expert Pim Dickson suggested that the "simplest solution" is to gather all of the slugs and snails in your garden and "physically relocate them".
