There are 2 ways to get rid of slugs n snail that actually work without using poisons.

1. Go out after dark with a flash light, a jar of warm water with dish detergent in it with a bit of ammonia, gloves if you are squeamish. Yank the little beggars off your plants and drop them in the dish water.

2. Put anything flat next to the plant that has enough room under it for them to crawl under (some people say grapefruit rinds work really well!) and every morning lift what ever and pick em up and dump them in the aforementioned jar of dishwater with ammonia.

If you try the eggshell thingy, make sure you wash the egg shells very well to get all the albumen off them before you crush and lay them out. Otherwise you'll be attracting other critters you don't want.

Don't kill the guy in the picture (Rosy Wolf Snail) since it eats snails. It's shell is about the same color.
