Is it very wrong to collect snails in my garden and throw them over the hedge into my neighbours neglected...

Question

...garden?

Answer 1

Sorry to say this, but your totally wasting your time as the cunning little sods will make their way straight back to your garden. They tend to like the one place and will keep making their way back over and over again. They are as good as homing pigeons, probably better. I know it makes you feel good when they land next door, especially when no one sees you. Try painting their shells and wait and see how long it takes each one to get back. Better throwing the cat poo, if it comes back then your neighbour has sussed you. Naughty Boy!! You don't live next door to me, do you?

Answer 2

the snails will be better fed on the other side anyway,everyone's a winner,they might keep the grass down a bit too.

Answer 13

Oh dear i am also guilty of doing that.Now I get hedgehogs so they get the slugs & snails.lol

Answer 14

The problem with snails is that they climb walls and fences - we even have them coming into our first floor bedroom when the window is open in the summer.  So you could find the same ones are back the next night.

You could collect them in a container with a lid, then relocate them some distance from your house.  I do this with spiders - I take them shopping and release them in the Town!

Answer 15

Hahahaha, Is this a real question????

Answer 16

A better way would be to place them in a birdbath or other wide, shallow container so that the birds can feasts off them.  

Throwing them into your neighbor's yard is just plain wrong and you know it.

Answer 17

So what do you do with the slugs and puppy dogs tails? Only if they crushed under foot it is.
