Beer trap

Okay, imagine you have a garden and there are little bugs called slugs that like to eat your plants. But you don't want to use any bad chemicals to get rid of them. So, you can use a beer trap to catch them instead.

A beer trap is a little bowl or jar that you put in your garden. You fill it up with some beer. Then, the slugs smell the beer and they come crawling over to it. But once they climb in, they can't climb back out because they get stuck in the beer.

So, the slugs get trapped in the beer trap and can't eat your plants anymore! And when the bowl is full of slugs, you can just empty it out and fill it up again. It's an easy and natural way to keep your garden safe.
