How to Get Snails off Driveways

Snails are pests that often leave slimy trails everywhere they travel. They are often found in yards and, yes, on driveways. Some species of snails are endangered and protected by federal laws. In order to keep snails off your driveway, you need a method that repels them without breaking the law.

How to Get Snails Off Driveways:

Step 1: Sweep and/or rake your entire driveway. Remove all leaves and debris from the driveway. Dispose of the leaves and debris by bagging it up in garbage bags or burning it.

Step 2: Clean your entire driveway with bleach, dish liquid, and hot water. Scrub the entire driveway with a scrub mop. Rinse thoroughly.

Step 3: Scatter salt on your driveway. Form a barrier line with the salt all the way around your entire driveway. Salt repels snails without killing them. Repeat all steps at least once a month.
