This almost always happens to some extent as these slow moving creatures are always on the prowl for a good meal
. The snail as a pest is a terrible thing. They can kill young plants by chewing their stem or eating the seeds before they finish germinating. They will eat irregular holes in leaves and this can lead to rapid browning. A single snail can do massive damage to a single plant in even the space of one night.
They have their uses in nature, just like any other creature. However, they are garden pests of the highest caliber and must be dealt with swiftly and decisively. Snails hone in on a single location and live there until it must move or it is eaten. Ridding a garden of this pest is a necessity.
There are two ways to manage this feat. The first method is organic and the second method simply requires the gardener to scatter chemical pellets. Either method works well.
The organic method of removing these little slimy creatures from a garden actually comes in many forms. Snails primarily come out at night as the sun can dry them out. While it is common to see a few during the day, these snails are mostly seeking a cooler place to rest. The first way to remove a snail will be the simplest. When night has come the gardener must go outside with a flashlight and manually look for these invading pests around the plants they have been chewing on. If they discover the snails they can then pick them up and either move them to a distant part of their yard or they can destroy them by stepping on them or drowning them.
