Here are a few suggestions: Place saucers or bowls of cheap, flat beer in your garden and leave overnight.The snails will be attracted to the smell of the beer and climb into the container, where they will become intoxicated by the alcohol, fall in and drown or if you do not like wasting perfectly good beer on your garden snails, you can also make similar traps using grape juice or water mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of yeast and a tablespoon of sugar. Sprinkle crushed egg shells around your plants or something else that is course. There soft bodies do to crawl over them. Good luck.
Angela has given you the same advice as I would.. Keep vigilant in removing them as you find the. I would add that you do not compost the snails once dead. Totally remove them from your property, and take them to an empty field or trail for birds, racoons and opposums to find. They will smell if allowed to remain.

shallow saucer of beer. Empty each morning.
Easy, take a cheap pie plate fill with beer, they will go to the beer, and drown or drink and die.
Beer traps.. snails love beer. Put some beer in a container deep enough that they are attracted and drown.
Send them on their way with a smile. Put some beer in a containter and set it in your garden check you traps daily.
Hi Debbie, so glad to hear that you prefer going the natural route. It might sound silly but we have a few overturned flowerpots, with a stone placed under the rim to lift them up a bit, scattered around our garden. We check them every few days for snails. They like crawling inside. Grapefruit and orange halves work too. We also try watering our garden in the morning instead of the evening. Snails and slugs like moist conditions so by watering in the morning it gives the surface soil time to dry out by the evening when snails are most active.
