The best long-term solution is predators that eat snails (and slugs) -
Song Thrushes, Hedgehogs, Toads, Slow Worms, Glow Worms (if you're in

understand, that you usually only find glow worms in chalk/limestone
areas because such areas have many more snails because of the greater
availablity of calcium for making shells.
