I don't use the stuff .  I was lucky enough to get some snails that eat the
brown snail and its getting easyer every year.  They say it will take a few
years because they only eat the small ones and the big ones have to die
off. Yet I do find big snails that have been  eaten.  I like  when the
researchers find a natural bio control and I give them a chance anytime I
can as I do not to do that environmental harm to my own land.    I also
have chickens that seem to eat them. I am like every one else looking for a
better way.  These predatory snail are nice they just follow the slim of
the other snails and eat them.  I don't need any poison .  I hand pick them
at night with a flash light when I am raising young plants and just step on
them  also I move the plants out of reach.  don't get me wrong I have
snails and that is  is what is keeping  the good snails alive.
