Re: Pat
The homing instinct. It is always a problem to get rid of pests. I always try to do so
humanly. Although sometimes the messiest way is the most humane. On smaller
insects etc I like to use spray and eat the same day some use ingredients used in the
home. remember DDT. It was sprayed everywhere and was even found in animals at the pole.

I think although it seems horrible is to stamp on them with a size 10 boot. On a
concrete slab.at least the thrushes could feed. It is not a pretty sight to see a thrush
try to break open the snail shell. Nature is cruel at times.

Yes, it surprised me that they made their way home again it could not have been along the main road.

Neighbors have a tendency of throwing things into one another's yards...The life of a snail is quite a life.

Snails can be such a problem and they are difficult to be rid of. An enjoyable poem.

The man who dabs the snails with white before sacking them up
and taking them away from his property has a scientific mind, a hopeful outlook and a kind heart. Would have been easier to get rid of them once and for all by using pesticides, but instead he tried to set them free. So they could invade his garden again.
