There are bushy areas beside my garden full of snails which come every night and eat anything I plant, I mean anything. I am so fed up!! There are too many to bother with traps, dishes of beer etc. But I finally want to use my garden!!! Just a few flowers and veggies, so the kids can enjoy using it too.
People keep telling me to use poison, which I avoided until now. I thought it might hurt the birds which may eat them, but now I´ve been told this isn´t true ( and that a dying snail shrinks back into his shell anyway, which makes sense). I´ve also been told that this poison is NOT toxic, and doesn´t hurt anything else, plants or animals. Or my kids, of course. Now I´m ready to use a few boxes and just get rid of them. Have I been wrongly informed?
(PS I live in Germany, so maybe there are different poisons here than in N. America).
