How to banish snails (but don't tell the neighbours): Best way to get rid of them is by throwing them over the fence
Study finds snails rarely return from more than 65ft, length of cricket pitch
Defies legend that pest's homing instinct is so strong it can travel a mile
No use killing them as it has the same effect as moving them further away

I do that!! mainly in the hope the snails will eat all his weeds!!!

My neighbour has only done bits of his garden a handful of times in the 14 years i have lived here.

I have been throwing snails over the fence for years, when we first moved here we had several ducks living in the garden and they use to eat them, the ducks have moved on or someone ate them.

If they say to chuck them that far, not surprising they don't come back ... smash their poor little shells, rather cruel to do that ... ?

I never thought of throwing them in the neighbours garden
