I read that glowworm grubs eat snails. Can they be bought as biological

I quite like the idea of some wildlife that will both eat my snails and
light up the garden at night.


Try thrushes. If the sound of a snail being smashed to smithereens
on a stone or brick isn't music enough to your ears, listen to the
song.


I enjoy having song thrushes use my garden and indeed the sight of them
devouring snails pleases me, but I do wish they would clear up after
themselves as snail shell in bare feet is not nice. BTW do thrushes eat
slugs?
