I was repotting some things recently and found loads of snail eggs
around the edge of the pots, just beneath the surface of the soil.
Seeing that I have so many pots I was wondering whether there are
any
nasty chemicals on the market that I could use to water the pots
with
to kill the buggers before they hatch out next year ??
Any ideas / names of products ??

Hello Jenny
Are you sure they are snail eggs (usually a white mass) or are they
slow
release fertiliser pellets (often brown, usually single but
sometimes a
block of pellets.

100% positive. Translucent white globby eggs :~((((((((((((
I don't use those pellet thingies !

Hello Jenny
"Fertosan" snail repellent/killer, wildlife pet and child sake is what I
have. There a bit about if you look for it in "Google" web and "Goole"
groups.
Next year you could use the natural predator nematodes.
