Snail Bait Danger.. Please Read
Spring is here & we will be doing yard clean up and preparing for summer. It's the time of year a lot of people use snail bait. Most snail bait products are poisonous to our pets & can/will cause seizures & tremors. Should you suspect your pet has ingested snail bait or is showing signs such as shaking, tremors &/or seizures call your veterinarian or local emergency vet ASAP !!!! The sooner treatment begins the better chance you have of saving your pet. There are snail bait products on the market that are "pet safe", please read the labels !!!!! I work at a local 24 hr emergency vet hospital and we will see snail bait cases almost daily when spring comes & the weather gets warmer. Just trying to prevent anybody from going through this and possibly losing their beloved pets... Take Care.....Gail

A shallow pan filled with beer works to get rid of snails and slugs. They're attracted to the beer and then drown (or can't digest the gas) and die. You're stuck with bucket of snails to throw away, but at least your pets are safe!
