Finally, the Tories have a way to solve the loneliness epidemic.
Snails are very cute and essential to the ecosystem
(Just don’t import, they can be very invasive)
I can’t be the only person who thinks they kinda look like slimey rabbits right?
I stopped using beer traps and pellets as they actually just attract them from 100meters around. Then the dead ones attract more.
Fine grit works to an extent, wool pellets are ok. I have a shelf supported on metal legs that I’ve wrapped serrated copper tape around, bastards won’t climb it!
I leave the leopard slugs alone as they only only eat dead plant material and other slugs.
Snails I collect by the pound, I used to chuck them over the back fence but they just come back like homing pigeons. I don’t like to do it but I treat them to a hot bath and chuck them on the compost.
I let them eat the plants they like. There’s none left now so they’ve all fucked off. It’s not much of a strategy but it seems to have worked
So, am i the only one who verbally apologises when I accidentally step on a snail?
I find they are slow to come out of their shell.
Good night.
Everytime one of these fuckers found their way into my house i would pick them up and launch them outside into the stratosphere at mach 5.
That’ll teach the little fucker for breaking into my home. Hope he’s enjoying his time on a new continent.
Sure. They can eat what they like in my garden, I grow my plants with salt, so I do hope they like salt. Lots of salt. Would you like some salt with that Hosta? What’s that Sluggy, you want me to pass you the salt? Sure, here you go! Whoops are you ok?
