Proven methods to eliminate snails:
1. BB gun, preferably rifle. It’s slow going but also useful for sharpening your sniper skills.
2. Gasoline and matches.
3. Crazy glue. Place a small dab directly in the path of each snail. They’re too slow to turn away in time, and will get stuck.
4. Toads. Catch a toad that looks like he hasn’t eaten in a while. Place the toad directly in the midst of the snail infestation. Watch the hilarity ensue!

Diatomaceous Earth is used for snails. Cuts and dries insects out. Natural silica in it.
Google it and see what you think. Some insects require a multiple insecticide approach. DE as it is known is natural. I did not charge for the advice so go easy on me.

Okay, look. This is an emotional moment for all of us, all right? I know that. But let’s not make snap judgments, please. This is clearly an important species we’re dealing with here, and I don’t think you or I or anybody has the right to arbitrarily exterminate them.

I live in Molino and I have been fighting the snails for about 6 weeks. I even had an exterminator to spray but it didn’t help very much. Mine were as bad or worse than these pictures. I found something at Lowe’s made by Ortho that is for snails. It did help a little. We still have them but they are a lot better. I’m still fighting!

Salt is effective in killing them, but you have to put it on each snail for it to be effective. I can see getting them cleared out and then putting a salt border around where you don’t want them in the future, at least until it rains .
