Assessment of fermented beverages as an integrated pest management solution for garden slugs
Mentor: Dr. Marjorie Wonham

What fermented beverages attract slugs and how do we find out what compounds in them attract slugs? Rooted in home gardens, my keystone presentation explores the topic of slug management. I identify slugs as a problem for gardeners and how the current pesticides in being used industrially are not applicable to home gardens. I propose an alternative of a big trap utilizing fermented beverages as our active ingredient. The product of this research is a proposal to investigate the problem further in the hopes that we can create a cost-effective bait trap for home gardeners.
