I got the little buggars!

35 snails from the smallest little flower bed you have ever seen.  I got very cross when they started munching my lovely young sunflower and reached for the snail/slug killer!

Oh how I felt great throwing each and everyone on to the road over the wall!  Is is mean that I should feel so good?  Hmm.... :?

Just a thought but snails are supposed to find their way back,I told my nephew this and he had fun catchingsnails,putting dots of nail varnish on and seeing how many came back...apparantly quite a few!

It'd be a miracle if these did Annie, they've had a taste of 666's slug killer. I think they'd shuffled off this mortal coil before getting airborne.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

i know it seems wrong but i also get a great deal of satisfaction from killing off these pests who can eat through half your crops in a night  :D
  i must have gone through 4 tubs so far and there still stupid enough to come in to look for their slimy friends :lol:

DD-quite right, they will not be finding their way back, they were green mush last time I saw them!
