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 ??

They could be slug eggs as well.
There is (or was) a product that you watered into the soil and
which killed
eggs and small slugs/snails, supposedly also not toxic to anything
else.
I can't remember the name, which is not very helpful to you but a
look round
your local garden centre/DIY shed should turn it up if still
available.

Ummmmm. I live in Holland and the UE regulations prohibit the selling
of lots of 'chemical nasties'. However I will see what i can find
online or get someone in the UK to smuggle stuff in next time we have
visitors :~))
