    I LOVE garden snails. I think they are the cutest things! You could send them all to me, but it's too dry here for them to live.

    My friend in California also did the salt trick. She put a line of salt all the way around her yard and then put all the snails outside of her yard. She said they stayed completely out unless it rained and then she had to replace the salt.

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    lol,

    I watch the mexican tv channels and they sell a product called "crema de caracol"- snail snot- for wrinkly skin.

    They show people who harvest snails and note how the SS keeps their skin nice and soft....so they package it and people put it on their wrinkles!

    You are the one who is into French culture- so why not serving them with garlic butter- but of course no beer: some white chardonnay might be right

    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.
