I cut a two liter plastic bottle just below the neck, inserted a piece of banana peel, then put the top back on, but in REVERSE. I sealed it with sticky packaging tape. Then I added a can of beer, a couple drops of liquid soap and a little water. It's now in the garden on it's side, waiting for slugs.

I got the idea out of a book, but I changed the concoction a little. If you think this will work, please tell me. If you have better ideas please tell me. I'll be making another in a couple of days. Here's a pic of what it looks like, standing upright.
