Whats messing with my beer traps

Post: # 60971Post colhut »

Ok, so down to the veg patch today and ALL my beer traps are upended or tossed aside, one was at least 10ft from where it should have been. I think I can rule out homosapiens from the perpetrators list. Any ideas what might be interested and big enough to throw a yoghurt pot full of beer around. If its the slugs doing it then I have a serious problem :pale:
How hard can it be, how long can it take. What could POSSIBLY go wrong
