We are having a population explosion of snails. They are multiplying faster than rabbits. My Sweetie (husband) and I have literally picked these things off from the garden, the flower beds, the brick post (they are climbing up). My DH has sprayed, probably some kind of bad stuff. He refuses to tell me, because he knows I will not like his answer. LOL
Any suggestions.

Thanks Alee, my Sweetie didn't want to put the salt. But, he is reading the printout from the site you gave me.
We picked up 55 slugs today. Hand picked those suckers off the plants, crawling up the brick posts, on the pots.
Are those things kin to rabbits? LOL

Marly- be careful with the salt- it will sterilize your soil where you put it.

put out a pie plate of beer. They are attracted to the smell, crawl in and die.
