✅How to get rid of snails

Yesterday night, I went out to see the vegetable garden, and I saw the planted lettuce cleft into strips.

🐌 big snails are full of food. Every time I see them, I'm devastated, but I don't want to use strong chemicals because there are cats and birds in the garden, so I try a lot of simple ways until the vegetables start to recover.

🌿 now, take a try and work method (and some simple ideas that can be done at night).

💢 How serious (follow one by one)

Keep empty hands (Hand-pickled)

Go out at night or early in the morning. Use a flashlight to watch under leaves and nooks, shove rocks / pots, then collect them in a bucket, throw them away, or into a bucket of water and move them far away from the garden (free way).

Beer trap

Dig a shallow hole where you see the snail. Put a small cup and put the beer on the level of half a cup. The snail will crawl down and stick. Should wash the cup every morning and leave the stick away.

Banana / Apple Trap (Ripe Fruit)

Place a banana peel or ripe fruit slice under a vegetable bush. Early in the morning, shellfish will gather. Easily collected and discarded.

Paper Trap / Zinc Sheet / Tile (Shelter Trap)

Put a thin piece of corrugated paper or wood or an inverted tile as a hiding place. In the morning, the clams are hidden and easily discarded.

Copper panel or copper tape (Copper barrier)

Stick copper tape around the pots or plot edges. Snails don't like to touch copper. Will bypass this way (fits pots and small plot edges).

Iron phosphate is suitable for homes with pets, like commercial bait, safe for pets and birds if you want to use the bait as a safer alternative.

Metaldehyde.

Avoid the use of salt or substances that destroy immediately on the snail body. Salt causes the clam to die instantly but will damage the soil and plants. Should be avoided.

Conditioning the garden not too damp.

Morning watering, not night watering, reducing hiding and hiding places (leaf debris, haystacks, slab rocks) will reduce snail populations a lot.

Promote natural enemies.

Release small ducks (if they can be raised) or attract frog-bird-beetles that feed on snails with plants and small bodies of water.

Cultivate mule plants (sacrificial plantes)

Plant a small plot of vegetables that shellfish like outside the main garden. Let the shellfish eat there and collect it regularly.

Use shellproof materials along the edges (e.g. coarse sand, log ash, crushed eggshell) - Medium efficiency

The coarse material makes the snail difficult to move, but the rain will make it disappear. It needs to be replenished often.

If necessary: Professional removal agent (e.g. metaldehyde) - Use with caution

Some substances are poisonous to birds and pets, agricultural or specialist shops should be consulted before use, and labels are strictly read.

7-Day Plan (Easy to Start)

Night 1: Keep empty hands + place 4-6 beer traps

Morning-Every Morning: Keep Traps, Wash / Change Beers, and Collect Snails That Stick

Days 2-7: Stick Copper Tape Around Pots, Clean Leaf Wreck / Dodge Source, Morning Watering Only

Week 2: Consider using iron phosphate if the number is still large and plant a mule outside the main garden.
