There are a number of cultural practices that are effective in the control of snails and slugs in the garden. In practice, it is the combination of these various cultural practices that is the most effective. Hand-picking + the use of barriers + better plant selection + better garden sanitation is usually the best overall answer. See “Common-Sense Pest Control” by William Olkowski, Sheila Daar and Helga Olkowski. 1991.
