oh dear the dreaded S&S!!!
i have made my own vey inexpensive beer traps and gave the recipe to another grape who is thrilled with the results, as i am too, they are worth a go and in my mind they die happy!!
For anyone who cares, this is what i did:
large pot dug flush into the ground (i used a choco flake tub from tesco)
then i got an empty ice cream tub and cut out holes in the sides, then filled the other pot with beer and placed the ice cream tub over with a large stone on the top, voila!!
I have caught loads and loads and i am using cheap Aldi beer, one a week is doing it as I am using Wheat beer and very strong smelling.
Hope this helps.
