These things are a MAJOR problem get the blue poison for snail ASAP, flame thrower anything you can get your hands on to kill them permanently, don't crush them because the eggs and little ones will spread.

They spread and multiply incredibly fast and once it happens there is noway to get rid of them from your area.

I adopted a small to medium size Caiman I found in my yard during the flood, I say well he will deal with these snails but he was useless he didn't eat any of the snails, he just loafed around sleeping all day and terrorized my mother instead, ended up dumping him in a nearby abandoned pond that has some fishes.

The chives thing is interesting. I’m snail free more or less for over a year and a half now. Always vigilant tho because the general area is infested.

Mix ratios?

Recommended ratio is 1 tsp per gallon of water,I using it 4 tsp per gallon. I using small spray bottles and going trigger happy.
I am paying $25/lb by the agro shop. The copper sulfate is safe for dogs/cats /birds. Do not use around fish. It is also a very good fungicide for plants. So win/win
The snails by me don't particularly like the chives for some reason, just an observation

Boys,

Nothing not working, them fawkers coming full force. The more deading the more coming.

Trying this around the entrance where they coming from. Going to place on ground and fill with heavy salt.

Plenty rain would make it overflow and dilute the salt, but some of them will get it if they venture in. Trying to see if i could build a shelter strip to cover it.
