snails like to live in the spouts of watering cans?Sod's Law whenever I want to use one of my cans there will be a,soon to be dead, snail in the spout blocking it.Out with a garden cane,poke the snail into the can,tip it out,tread on it .Dead.The total is mounting up!!!

Prefer them in the can than their other haunts, but it is well irritating!

We keep watering cans beside our water butts and yes, the spouts are a common resting place. It begs the question. "Can snails only crawl forwards and do they not possess a Reverse gear?
If so, that explains why once they,re "up the spout" they can never escape?
