Can anyone tell me how to go about catching snails WITHOUT poisoning
them or drowning them? I have heard that snails love beer (can you
blame them?), but how would you set up a snail trap where they are
kept alive, but can't get out?
I intend to cook them, after they have "cleaned themselves" out. Bran
or something?
Anyway, a good snail trap that doesn't poison or drown them? I hear
that they like dark damp areas.

I like stepping on them.

How about a snail cannon? Similar to a potato cannon, smaller caliber
barrel. One could shoot them into a neighbors yard. Or at the neighbor. In
any case, snails are easy to catch.

They don't move quickly.

Unless they've met your cannon of course.
