You can spread diatomaceous earth on the ground, mainly around the base of the tree. However, in moist soil conditions, diatomite soil will not be able to fully utilize its properties, so you need to add new soil if it rains or when you have just watered the plants. You need to note that you need to choose food grade diatomaceous earth that is not harmful to the environment or humans.

Change the watering schedule

How to kill snailsSimply change the time of watering the plants. Snails are moisture-loving species, so they will move easily and quickly on wet ground. Therefore, if you schedule watering in the afternoon or late evening, move it to the morning to ensure the soil is dry before nightfall (the time when snails are active).

Loosen the soil around the base of the tree

Tilling the soil will help eliminate snail eggs, thereby reducing the number of snails that grow later.
