I prefer to give all snails i find in the garden flying lessons(there not very good at it)but at least when they hit the ground its fresh food for the birds
I was out walking in Cumbria this weekend when I came upon dozens of snails of all sizes in a crevice in the trunk of a large tree. I poked them with my stick but they were stuck fast. I've found them under stones and in the compost heap but never in trees. I was pleased to see a number of thrushes nearby. Hopefully they will have a good feed on them. Meanwhile, I will continue to dispose of the ones in my garden by any means possible. But forget about beer traps. The snails just throw boozy parties and procreate all the more.
At dusk, my lawn is teaming with slugs. (my garden is 100 x 40ft in size). Literally covered with them. Not sure how to deal with this problem as there are quite a few cats in the area I don't wish them to come to any harm through any chemical solutions. Advice greatly appreciated.
