Slug and snail tap the top and the bottom should theoretically work

Seen a suggestion to freeze them and then put them on the compost. I mean it’s got to be better than poisoning them. I wanted a hedgehog but my garden is too close to the road, sadly.

i havent tried but i read the copper tape can be used to deter them, i imagine you could run it around the inside of your bin. let us know how it’s going with the snails.

I think I’m okay with generations of snails as long as they stay in my compost pile. Will I just be adding to my current problem, by placing live snails in my compost? Thank you!

My compost attracts a handful of slugs everyday, I bet my compost is almost 25% slugs with the amount I put in….. it’s so deserving to hurt them

Good to hear slugs and snails help the compost. My query is,to stop them leaving the bin for the rest of the garden, can I site the bin on gravel?
