I've tried to figure where to put this......

I need some snails.
Even though the brown garden snail is in Fl, the decollate snail isn't.

Is there anyone in California with a deviant nature?
Specifically someone in Fresno, Imperial, Kern, Los Angeles, Madera, Orange, Riverside, Santa Barbara, San Bernardino, San Diego, Ventura, or Tulare counties.

I've mounted a successful frontal assault with BB gun and flashlight and implemented a bait/crush bait/poison plan. This has reduced the population on my property by at least 5,000 many being the large breeding snails.
5,000 snails? REALLY?
I threw some papaya leaves in a hole and days later discovered hundreds, literally hundreds of snails eating them. Since then I have papaya piles all over have been crushing 200+ per day.


Metaldehyde baits are pricey and dangerous. The BB gun gets hard as the snails get around 1/4 inch or smaller. I could apply carbamates to the entire property through irrigation, but this is expensive and probably illegal.

I have got to get out in front of them.

Anyone?

P.S. don't say beer, copper, DE, shoes, salt, birds, leave them alone, snails are people too, etc

They can be killed with caffeine - have you tried spreading coffee grounds? Actually, used grounds may be too weak; the fresh stuff may work.
