how do you get rid of snails in the garden.I got up during the night to find one in the kitchen?

Answer 1

salt it will not hurt any thing but the snails and slugs

Answer 2

You can use beer or buy slug pellets which I do as I have so many in my garden. The only thing with pellets is you have to go round picking up the dead snails so that birds don't eat them and die from eating poisoned slugs and snails. I'd do as robert h says and sprinkle some salt round the back door to stop em coming in.

Answer 3

I believe that everyone is in the same boat this year as we are being over run with them because of the damp weather. Everyone has there own personal way of gettin rid of them. I personally use salt. But I went onto a site with wd 40 not long ago and it says if you spray that round your door or where they are they will not come back !

Answer 4

The best thing you can do is to scatter a few slug pellets around the garden, but not too many otherwise the slugs will eventually become immune to them, use blue pellets as they are shower proof and last longer than other slug killers.
