KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Snails are tiny pests that significantly damage your lawn and garden. Snails eat living and decaying organic matter, including domestic herbs and vegetables like basil, beans, and cabbage.
- Get rid of snails in your flower beds or garden by using bait like beer, trapping the snails, using barriers and repellents, introducing natural predators, and planting snail-resistant flowers and herbs like hostas, rosemary, or sage. You can also kill snails with salt or create an artificial drought in your yard.
- Keep snails out of your yard by eliminating shelter, using drip irrigation, and planting borders of snail-resistant vegetation.
- Keep snails out of your house by sealing gaps and cracks in windows and doors or using baits.
