Crushed egg shells are supposed to help keep them off plants.

Salt is great for slugs, they just shrivel up.
when I first move here I had a huge, huge problem with snails - went out with a torch one evening after dark and got a bucketful off the lawns - kept repeating that. Every night checked behind all the dense foliage up against the walls cos that was where they hid during the day and religously kept on hunting them down - am virtually snail free now and all with little or no use of pesticides.
I dont have any.....they dont like me :(
Being crushed underfoot, they hate that.
carmalee, what did you do with the bucket of snails that you took from your lawn?
I am really inquisitive
But it feels horrible when you crush them Islowry, and so do snails. If I find snails in my garden I throw them out on to the road so that passing cars will crush them and I don't have to. Otherwise it's back to the slug pellets. They are so yucky!

My other house backed on to a dam
One night I got 5 in the kitchen they were crawling up the walls
Hate them
Some people like to eat them. When I was a child I used to go out and collect them in a jar for my grandfather. My grandmother used to boil them in salted water. He loved them. My mother reckoned they made a noise when they were put into the boiling water. Horrible!! Perhaps that's why I find them so yucky.
