db]  Terry... when you do this be ready to watch them.  They REALLY do
act drunk.  They normally move slow (like a snails pace-pun intended).
My two daughters didn't believe me so I did it and they were shocked as
to how they reacted.  I use it and now that my new neighbors DON'T take
care of them they now come over to visit my yard.  If hubby doesn't
(toss) them back home then I use the beer method.  IT WORKS GREAT!
Just remember to but the beer in jar lids **outside** the garden so they
don't come into it........  good luck!!
