| I was going to recommend the same thing - diatomaceous earth. I have used the pool store variety as well, simply because we have it around anyway, and it worked great. It's the only thing I will put in my backyard because of my dogs and a few neighbor cats and raccoons. It is actually little bitty fossils that act like glass to snails and slugs; no chemicals involved. Cheap too!!
Cynthia - I didn't know that about vermiculite, altho I don't use it currently. Do you think it would be worth it's own warning/posting???
