- One of the most effective ways to address the problem is a nightime
ambush. Using a torch, just go round and collect them all up and
either squish them underfoot or if you prefer, take your prisoners on
a car journey or walk and leave them in a field a few miles from your
garden, don't discard too close to home as snails tend to have in
built GPS and it won't be long before you hear a slimey "Hi honey, I'm
home!!!".


DO NOT under any circumstances put them in any field, all you will be doing
is to lumber some other poor devil with the problem, ALWAYS KILL the
buggers.
