I have a snail in my house, I don't know how it got there, but how do I get rid of it?

Answer 1

Follow the trail to where it is coming in and plug the hole. If it is coming under your door there are brush like things that you can affix to the bottom of your door (hardware stores can help)
Sprinkle snail bait outside.

Answer 2

Here is a quick list on how to get rid of snails. And no, eating the snails is not an option…

1 - Broken Egg shells or Sea shells:

Snails REALLY don’t enjoy the feeling of crawling/sliming their way over this, so you can scatter these around plants that you want to protect.

2 - Beer traps:

Place jars of beer in the ground, with the top of the open jar level with the ground. The snails will crawl into the jar, and drown. Whether they’re just looking for a good time or not I’m not sure, but don’t waste your imported beer on the slimey pests.

3 - Salt - WARNING: Huge cruelty effect to plants AND snails:

Salt is a serious snail killer, making them sizzle. It’s a bit cruel, in my mind, but then, so are most of these methods. Pouring salt around infected areas will help get rid of snails, but it will also kill plants, so try not to pour it near your plants.

4 - Sandpaper:

Something easily bought online, placing your pot plants on sandpaper will help keep them safe. The snails won’t crawl over the sandpaper to get to your pots, leaving the plants snail free.

5 - Organic Pesticide:

I’ve heard that there are a few websites selling organic pesticide that is useful in getting rid of snails. I think this might be the best route to take, as Organic Pesticide is safe for your plants as well. Remember to read up about the organic pesticide first, especially if you have pets or children who love the garden.

Answer 3

I've caught/trapped snails in my garden by laying a half-empty beer can on the ground where they crawl. They love the taste or smell of beer and so they crawl inside of the can and either get drunk and die or drown. In any case, it really works!

Answer 4

I have confidence in your ability to catch it, they are generally very slow. Use a stiff paper card and scoop it up and take it outside to a nice shady damp area and let it go. If you take it very many feet from your house, it will never make it back before it is old and gray.

Answer 5

pick it up...and drop it off at the end of the street, it will takes its entire lifetime to find its way back...8unless its an ocean snal..then its probably dead and just stuck there, but there are snails that live in trees and you just need to relocate it
