This is a guide about getting rid of snails. Although many people think snails are cute, they can be devastating to your yard and garden.
To prevent snails from eating a new seedling you've just planted outdoors, put a ring of new, unused coffee grounds down around the plant. I dampen the grounds just a little to keep them from blowing away. Make sure it's UNused grounds; it's the caffeine that the snails hate.

I seem to be having an explosion of new snails on my plants. What are you using to stop the cute little things?

Thank you to "gbilly"....I had heard of that hint before and forgot about it. I'll give it a try! Thanks again!
This is only my second summer at my new home. Last year I was so pleased to see plants and trees growing nicely until I started noticing holes in all the leaves. It appears I have some very hungry visitors in the form of snails. I was told snails indicate good soil but I would prefer to do without them. How can I get rid of snails or at least discourage them from visiting this summer
