Brenda I have used the white powder in the garden when we have wet damp conditions. Works like a charm on those snails. Have never heard of using it to make a drink out of.

Susan, apparently 1 heaping tsp in 8 oz of water helps clear the body of any parasites, fungus...bugs...whatever, yuck. I guess I'm a believer cause I do it...it must be FOODGRADE though.

Thank you Brenda for teaching me something new!

Beer!! A shallow container and some beer is all you need. Snails love the stuff. They crawl in and don't get out and die. Just an idea!

Snails and Slugs
 
I have used beer many times for our slugs, which by the way are as large as cigars. Apparently our snails are crazy about beer. Maybe a nice dark beer would be more to their liking.:rofl:

It would be more to my liking than the white powdery cr*& that I drink! I've heard of beer before to trap them.
