Surprised that nobody has mentioned the timeproven old remedy: Beer.
Snails are attracted to the smell of yeast. From time to time I take plastic water bottles, drill 2-3 holes with a 3/8" bit through the side, about half way up. Then I add about 2" of beer**, cap it, and place it between plants showing signs of uninvited guests.
Snails (slugs) will follow the scent, and drown themselves in the beer.
** The cheapest I can find. Won't waste the good stuff on these critters.
