sockmonkey:" Snails ate most of my alyssum, despite putting sluggo, and deadline out..Guess, they loved the little seedlings.
I am going to sluggo my entire back yard."

For sanils and slugs :
place a pie plate at soil level
place stale beer in the pie plate
The beer will give off an aroma of fermentation that slugs and snails like
They will die intoxicated and happy by drowning in the beer
Do not reccomend to Johnny , as he will get pi$$ed at the waste of good or stale beer !

I'm wondering if a solution of yeast would work just as well--or better--than beer...

Okay, since you'be both rceommended beer for snails..
Do you think they would go for ale? I have some Anchor Brewing Company Christmas Ale from last year.
