Gross. Sawdust or eggshells where they get in will stop them - or salt (dries them up  ;D )

I had snails for lunch.





And some wine to wash them down.

Gert it's five past 6 in the morning, I haven't had breakfast yet!
Now I don't want any.
You are a scream.

That is the ultimate revenge Gertbysea..........LOL
I will certainly try everyone's suggestions though, my garden beds will end up like a compost site full of egg shells, coffee grounds, bran and beer!!

Hey we're delicious. I could not believe my eyes when I saw them on the special board.

The last time I has snails was an eon ago at a cocktail party  in Singapore. Some guy and I ate 50 each with a lot of wine. Best party ever.

Love it Gert!

Thanks for the tip re garlic oil, I'll give it a go next time they appear. They've all gone now, it was a whirlwind pit stop for about three days where they came, they sucked and they left!

Now, we have an influx of earwigs. I have found two in our bed in the last two days!
