<li>Plant ash</li>
<li>Saw dusts</li>
<li>sand or crushed eggshells</li>
</ul>
<h3>Methodology</h3>
<p>Take equal ratio (1:1) of plant ash; saw dusts, sand or eggshells. Sprinkle enough ash, sand, or crushed eggshells at the base of the plants. The snails are sensitive to harsh objects which prevent them from crawling into the plants. Keep these substances dry more effectiveness because snails are problematic only when the soil is moist.</p>
