Re: CS>Snails and moles
Sounds logical... Snails have a pace ..anything that would pick up that pace.. How about Meth crystals ? You suppose a snail could out run a mole without having a heart attack? Hummm Snails with the jitters? ..can't be good. The alien writings they do on algae covered surfaces just might start to be readable. Oh wait..That's ME with too much caffiene.

Re: CS>Snails and moles
The old timey way for snails and slugsleave them a jar cap full of beer. Moles eat insect larvae in the ground Although similar in appearance to mice, moles are classified as insectivores, and are more closely related to shrews and bats than to rodents. They eat meat, primarily in the form of insects, spiders, and earthworms. In this aspect of their lives they could be considered beneficial to gardeners, since they destroy a number of important soil insect pests. Control *Cats and dogs: Can be very successful but entirely depends on the nature of the pet. Some cats and some dogs are great molers, others could care less. [Them digging can be as destructive as the moles digging.] *The Pet Inevitability Phenomenon: Have the kids name the mole, fall in love with the mole, and within a short time the mole will run into the road and get hit by a car. This seems statistically to work as well as any other. :-) Ode At 06:22 AM 9/30/2009 -0700, you wrote: Can anyone tell me if they have any non-toxic ways of getting rid of both of these garden pests!

Re: CS>Snails and moles
If you are over 21, you can put glasses of beer outside and they will be attracted to them, drink the beer, get drunk, fall in and drown.

Re: CS>Snails and moles
For slugs and snails put out shallow containers with straight sides full of cheap beer. We got rid of three hundred of them this way (we counted) and they just love it! dee On 30 Sep 2009, at 14:22, Jayson wrote: Can anyone tell me if they have any non-toxic ways of getting rid of both of these garden pests!

Re: CS>Snails and moles
We used to put out jar lids full of beer for the slugs, not sure if it works on snails but worth a try. An adult gopher-snake will take care of the mole and any others that may take up residence. They also eat gophers, voles, shrews, etc. zoe Jayson wrote: Can anyone tell me if they have any non-toxic ways of getting rid of both of these garden pests!
