brown dirt warrior suggests those copper scouring pads. i guess the metal dissolves them..

you can buy copper tape and just put it around the pot, most gardening centers will stock it.
never had a issue after i used it.

beer traps work as well, they like to hide during the day so if you go in at night, you'll likely find them or right when lights come on.

I have problems with snails all of the time. Your best bet is a snail bait product. Place it around your pots and hand pick the ones already on your plants.

Diatomaceous earth is good but if you live in an area like I do, where it rains like 3 times a week minimum, then a product made for killing snails that can withstand the rain is a better choice.
