I have a few flower plants in my apartment and i love them, some 3 weeks back, we saw some snails and i wondered where they came from, but we did not think much of it. Today i was shocked to see one onf my plants just died and when i pulled it out, there are so many snails in the roots and they had eaten the plants from inside the root. I went all over the web to check for solutions. Please help me if you know any household solution to rid fo snails please.

Hi. markamemory. I think that you should put some Sulfur down. Maybe this will help turn them the other way. I hope that it does. My aunt used to have snails all around her doorstep and when it rained these insects came out. They were very slimy. My grandmother used to have snails on her back porch too.

You can buy a snail poison. It should be sold and available at any agricultural product store.

Salt, it kills them, but its not a very noce sight just be warned. Put the salt anywhere where you dont want the snails/slugs and they will die.. Im not sure of any other ways, but hope this helps..
