Name: Susan Virginia (Zone 8a) God is the only thing that matters.
The thing that works best for me is something called Deadline,slug & snail bait. In the evening just one drop every foot all around the flower beds and where ever you see slime trails. (don't get it on your stones or concrete because it will stain them) Next morning they are all dead. I do it about once a month to stay on top of things.
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Mat.6:28-29
