Esschert Design Slug Traps

These traps function as bait stations. You fill the base with a liquid attractant, such as stale beer, which draws slugs and snails inside. Once they enter the vessel, they are unable to climb back out, keeping them away from your plants.

Yes. Because these traps rely on a simple, non-toxic liquid bait rather than chemical poisons or pesticides, they are a safe, family-friendly option for managing garden pests.

No, these are designed for long-term use. The durable ceramic construction is weather-resistant and built to withstand outdoor elements, so you can simply clean them out and reuse them season after season.

It depends on the slug population in your garden, but it is best to check them every few days. You will need to empty the contents and replenish the bait regularly to ensure the traps remain effective.

The snail-shaped design is intentionally whimsical and subtle. They are crafted to look like decorative garden ornaments, allowing them to sit naturally among your flower beds or vegetable patches without looking like industrial pest control equipment.
