Get rid of the ones in there then spray post with copper spray or wrap a pit
of copper wire around the post - they don't like it

snail killer !?


Perhaps a PO box!

I have the same problem and a sprinkling of snail pellets around the base
of the letter box is usually good enough. The poor snails in the box
usually end up slammed into the road, a tree and if big enough cast in the
heathens place 3 doors away.

You could also go out as it turns dark and hunt the beggars down, the
snails that is!

Cheers

Richard

Okay, 'get a copper' seems the way to go !

I'll look for a copper spray, whatever that is, thanks

You would use copper spray for leaf curl on peaches but a bit of
copper wire from the centre of an old piece of plastic covered wire
from the tip would work as well and may be cheaper (if you can beat
the tip recyclers to it given the price of copper at the scrap
merchants these days).
