The easiest way for a non-toxic way to get rid of snails without having to resort to killing them is: Pick them all up in the early morning hours when they come out, and take them to the nearest park with ducks or geese, or to a neighborhood pond, lake etc. I spent about a week (total of about an hour) in the early morning picking them up and doing this, and I have never found another snail on my lawn again. Call it weird or just plain silly, I know. But it worked If this has to be repeated, I don't find it a problem.
Regarding moles, I haven't tried this, but have read about it on a few lists Saturate cotton balls with peppermint oil, and place them around the holes. Rodents don't like the smell and will disappear. S-Max At 06:22 AM 9/30/2009 -0700, you wrote: >Can anyone tell me if they have any non-toxic ways of getting rid of both >of these garden pests!
