Listed below are multiple ways to attack the problem of snails and slugs. Not every option works for everyone or every situation but a combination of methods usually delivers good results:

Chances are, if you have snails in your garden, it is the common garden snail, also called the brown garden snail. The scientific name is Helix asperse. The common garden snail can be identified by its brown rounded shell and grey body.

Garlic, Lawn Chamomile, chives. Some plants repel most slugs and snails and these may have a deterrent effect when planted alongside or used to make an extract. Many gardeners swear by garlic as a natural pest control. Some say chives are effective it the leaves are tied around vulnerable plants; sounds fiddly.

Believe it or not, the best way to get rid of snails (organic or not) is to put out a dish of beer in your garden. Snails and slugs love beer. They come to it from far and wide, crawl in, get drunk, and drown. The morning after you put it out, you can just empty your dish full of beer and dead snails. Another easy organic option is to put out melon rinds. The snails will flock to them, over-stuff themselves, and lie around digesting until you come along in the morning to dispose of the whole thing, snails and all.
