ahem.i would like to have an opinion about it. It's my project at school..
most of you said that salt will kill them, but, any other opinion on how to kill a snail without damaging plants.|||put a strip of copper about 3-4 inches wide around the plants. snails can't
cross it. when the snail contacts it the wetness of the slime and the chemicals in it make a small electrical charge that is enough to make them stop and not cross.|||Hey Gino, ya gonna off dat snail or what!!!|||Pick it up and put it where there aren't any fragile plants, and step on it. Hard.|||put a saucer of beer in the garden. the snail will be attracted to it and drown|||You could toss them in a fish tank with clown loaches. They just love them!
A product like Sluggo will work - http://www.pestproducts.com/sluggo.htm
and shallows bowls of beer for them to drown in.
-Brian|||Just shake regular table salt on them and they will fall off and die.|||Try coffee grounds, prostrate rosemary, cornmeal, diatomaceous earth, acacia bark, tobacco, oak leaves, seaweed, garlic water, or lime (not the fruit, the mineral).
Basil might work too but you might want to double check me...LOL
The best of these I think are the cornmeal (sticks to them and they don't like it), diatomaceous earth (the grains are striated and they don't cross it), tobacco and seaweed (have no idea why but snails don't like those either).
Hope that helps!|||This is not what you asked for. We have always used regular table salt. I just wanted to warn you not follow that one advice about stepping on it. They are the hardest, gooeyest and yuckiest mess to EVER get off of your shoes or whatever you use.
