Snails love humid conditions, so we can most often see them in the morning or evening. They are important for the circulation of organic matter in nature, but in the garden they can cause a lot of damage. How to fight them?
Are snails dangerous to plants? If you see them in the garden, you better get rid of them
Snails are herbivores with a taste for young plants. They gnaw holes in roots, leaves or petals. It happens that smaller plants devour them whole. In our gardens, we most often meet two types of snails – small with a shell and naked. While small snails are not a big problem, black snails without a shell are real destroyers. They are omnivorous and can lead to the death of plants. How to deal with them?

What about snails in the garden? Bet on plants and home sprays
Remember that they choose shady and moist places among leaves or grass. A good way to get rid of them is to plant repellent plants such as onions, chamomile, sage, mustard, thyme, soapwort, thyme and savory. Another method is to do home spraying. An interesting way to do it was shown on the tiktok profile called “Pest Slayer”. It is enough to pour half a liter of water into a bottle with an atomizer and add 30 g of table salt, then mix and spray the places where there are snails.
In addition, it is also worth using other, preventive methods.
- Do not water the plants in the evening, because snails love moisture, and by doing this, you will create the perfect living conditions for them. Better do it in the morning, because when the sun comes out, the snails will hide quickly.
- Keep the area dry and remove brush or grass where they may be hiding.
- Remove weeds and prevent plant debris from rotting. Snails like to stay in the composter, from where they come out to feed.
