Housesitters Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Hi..we are being slowly invaded with hundreds of little white snails. We bought some snail/slug blue pellets and put them down, which seems to have curbed their activities, but having such a large area to cover, this was not cheap!Anyone any ideas how best to control these things or know of a cheaper alternative to expensive blue slug./snail pellets thingies? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyinfrance Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 These sound like morguettes: ordinary snail deterrents don't work so look out for a solution with the word morguettes on the packet (about £15 will do a 700sq metre area). If they are on the lawn, a cheaper method is sulphate of iron - good for the grass, kills lawn moss and the morguettes don't like it........Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Housesitters Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 Hi Tony. Thanks for your reply. I have looked morguettes up on the Internet and they seem a little too big, unless they grow into that size. However, I willl keep an eye out for the packets you mention and see if it helps. Failing that I will take one of the little blighters into the shop and see what they say. Thanks again. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Housesitters Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Hi....Thanks for the link. The snails we have are a LOT smaller than those. Looks like our blue pellets are working too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
