These slimy, clammy creatures reproduce extremely quickly and in large volumes.\u00a0 Some snails are asexual, which means they can breed by themselves and do not need to find a partner to mate.\u00a0 This allows them to reproduce whenever they like.\u00a0 These snails can easily ravage your plants in your garden that you have been nurturing for years in a matter of days.\u00a0 Many backyard gardeners are devastated when they find their plants ruined by a horde of snails.\u00a0 It can make your blood boil seeing all your hard work go to complete waste.\u00a0 Thankfully, there are a number of ways to get rid of these pesky creatures.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Crush a handful of eggshells<\/strong> and lay them around the plants that you want to protect from being chewed by the snails.\u00a0 What do the eggshells do?\u00a0 It basically takes loads of time for the snails to overcome the sharp obstacles and there is a chance of them ripping their mucous membrane when they slide over the jagged eggshells.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Another effective way is to sprinkle coffee grounds<\/strong> around the perimeter of your plants.\u00a0 Coffee grounds act as a strong deterrent to snails.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>3. \u00a0If crushing eggshells and sprinkling coffee grounds are not your preferred choices, you could rear some predators <\/strong>for the snails.\u00a0 They include toads, ducks and chickens which will gobble up the snails at a moment\u2019s notice.\u00a0 However, not everyone wants a chicken clucking and clawing in their backyard or toads hopping freely around in your garden for that matter.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0You can lure snails by leaving a plate of cat or dog food<\/strong> where the snail infestation is rampant.\u00a0\u00a0 Place a lid on top with a small opening to allow the snails to slip inside as they prefer dark places.\u00a0 Leave the plate overnight and in the morning you can throw a plateful of snails and half eaten animal food away.\u00a0 Snails supposedly love cat and dog food but this technique might attract rodents into your garden.<\/p>\n
