If you are, there is a very simple solution!

Try using Master Nurserymen's Snail, Slug and Insect Killer Bait.

In the evening after your pets have been removed from the garden area, place the liquid bait on pieces of cardboard and set these in your garden (it will be sticky and won't fall off). Snail and insect pests will be attracted to the bait and feed. In the morning, before your pets are released, retrieve these "bait plates" and set them out of the way. This method of baiting will provide nearly complete eradication while eliminating possible exposure to animals.

Do this two or three nights in a row for more thorough control.
