Buddy of mine in the US uses dishes of beer. The snails drink it and drown. Of course, he uses American beer--no offense.

I don't know if snails actually drown in beer. It's supposed to work for slugs, but-- and this is a true story-- I used the bottom of a soda bottle set into the ground a bit, containing a good slug (haha) of beer. The next day it was full, and I mean FULL of slugs. I threw them on the compost heap. A short time after, I returned to see the last of them staggering off. My theory is they got really drunk and just passed out. If I'd put more beer in or thrown them into something they couldn't escape from, I would have been OK.

Hedgehogs eat snails. Plus, they're cute and fluffy... well, not so much 'fluffy'. They're cute.

...as if 50 other people hadn't already said 'hedgehog'. What can I say? I'm slow. I was trying to get into the mood.

I suppose I should be flattered by David's obsession with me and my kind but frankly, I wish he would just get off my back.

Absolute cracker, Bryan:-) Wonder where I can get one?

You know, the instant after I pressed the submit button on this thread I thought 'Bugger! I hope Bryan doesn't take offence'. I thought if I kept it quiet you may not even notice - Just goes to show how little I know:-D
