\"\"<\/a>Short of grinding a snail under the heel of your shoe when you encounter it, here are a few other ways to eliminate snails in your garden :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>1. \u00a0One of the ways that I have personally used is the beer method<\/strong>.\u00a0 Yes, I said beer.\u00a0 Dig a small hole in your garden and place a plastic cup in it, with the rim at ground level and fill it with some beer.\u00a0 Snails are attracted to the yeast fermentation of the beer and will slide as fast as they can towards the sparkly gold mine.\u00a0 Most will drop into the cup and drown.\u00a0 Simply throw away the beer and refill it every one or two days.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Sand can also be used to line the perimeter of you plants as it tears their delicate bellies apart.\u00a0 It is like walking barefoot on crushed glass on the sidewalk.\u00a0 Thus, they will steer clear of your beloved plants.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>3. \u00a0If you have a lot of money to spare, you could purchase copper strips<\/strong> and lay them around your plants with each end being connected to the other.\u00a0 When snails try to cross the copper strips, they receive a delightful shock as electrical charges are stored by the copper.\u00a0 They will definitely stay away after that.\u00a0 Like the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>4. \u00a0Furthermore, if you could always opt for the manual way<\/strong> which people who have a lot of time on their hands seem to do.\u00a0 Grab an empty bucket, slip on a pair of rubber gloves and pick snails<\/strong> from your plants who are happily chewing away.\u00a0 After collecting a bucketful of the slimy creatures, fill it with water.\u00a0 Leave it overnight with a lid on top to prevent any snails from getting out.\u00a0 Simply throw away the drowned snails the following morning.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>5. \u00a0Another way is to alter the time<\/strong> when you water your plants<\/strong>.\u00a0 As snails are nocturnal and they like dark, damp places; they usually appear around dusk, ready to munch contentedly away at your plants.\u00a0 Thus, instead of watering in the evening, water your plants in the morning so that the ground will dry out by the afternoon.<\/p>\n
