Instead of killing them, I would advise you arrange for their kidnapping by baiting them with their choicest foods such as pawpaw or watermelon. You may have to make these available around 5pm-6pm, then return to pick them up by an hour's time. These can also be an alternative source of income for you. If you decide to go on extermination mission, you may try any of the tricks listed in the link below : https://m.wikihow.com/Get-Rid-of-Snails 2 Likes 1 Share |

How large is the farm? For a small farm (or garden), smashing them one by one every night until they are all dead is surprisingly effective. akinsmail51:Nice idea. You've said it all. 2 Likes 7 Shares |

Instead of killing them, why not get them caught and killed for soup? |

@seun thanks for the solution for the handpicking, I will add it to other solutions given above. The farm is just on 50by100. I would have love picking and eating the snails, but they are the smallest of the smallest. |
