Bran or something?
Anyway, a good snail trap that doesn't poison or drown them? I hear
that they like dark damp areas.
I thought that *slugs* love beer, not snails. For snails, if I recall
correctly, leave orange peels overnight and pick them off in the
morning.
Well, here in the South of France, after the rare occasion s when it
rains, all the locals are to be seen wearing wellies and carrying
carrier bags collecting snails. Let them "clean themselves out", what
nonsense - straight onto the BBQ with some garlic butter. Delicious!

A while ago, I was reading about escargot and it might have been an
Italian preparation, but it recommended keeping them alive for a while to
'clean themselves out' i.e. get all the snail turds out of their systems.
I wouldn't eat them anyway, but to each their own I guess.
