Sara, check out Gardens Alive, www.gardensalive.com and look for a product called Escar-Go. Gardens Alive sells environmentally responsible products, and I have used this particular product in the past to control slugs, but it works for snails, too. I think you would be safe with the cats.

Since I draw the line at Snail Margaritas (just thinking about the blender action makes me gag)......
Notice, no mention of snail snot.
ES,
If you still want me to be your gardener...we can harvest the snails and split the profit! :eek:
From a liability standpoint, you should prolly consider offering some food, too. I have never been comfortable providing JUST alcoholic beverages to my guests. Maybe some bread crumbs? Or, a saltine? Rice cakes?
Two days ago I "harvested" 39 of these sobs....and look at just this one spot...can you see 7 or 8 in this photo? I can!

Perhaps Cataholic....I should offer them some nice melted butter..... :mad:
That rose is gorgeous! I would want to hang out there too, if I were a snail.
Can't you introduce them to Eddie?
Slugs or Snails?
Make a "wasp" trap out of a small plastic bottle. (Cut off the top part where it begins to curve; then invert it so it is a funnel ; then duct tape the edges.) Pour a little beer into the bottle and bury it so the edge is at ground level. You can also trap them by putting some dry cat food under or near a board; then physically remove them on a weekly basis. (They will be under the board to escape midday heat.) Get some lightning bugs; their larvae parasitize slugs. Slug bait is attractive to mice who after eating it desiccate and die, but, remember, slug bait is a registered pesticide poison, so we do not recommend its use.
