Snails can turn your cozy outdoor sofa into their favorite hideout, leaving behind slime and damage. Here are practical ways to prevent these unwanted guests:

1. Regular Cleaning – Wipe down your sofa frequently with a vinegar-water solution (1:1 ratio). Snails dislike acidic surfaces and will avoid them.

2. Use Natural Repellents – Sprinkle crushed eggshells, coffee grounds, or diatomaceous earth around the sofa. These create barriers snails won’t cross.

3. Elevate Your Furniture – Place your sofa on legs or a raised platform to make it harder for snails to climb up.

4. Install Copper Tape – Snails avoid copper due to a reaction with their slime. Apply adhesive copper tape around the sofa’s base.

5. Remove Attractants – Keep the area dry and free of decaying leaves, mulch, or excess moisture, which attract snails.

6. Protective Covers – Use waterproof, snug-fitting covers when the sofa isn’t in use to block access.

For stubborn infestations, consider pet-safe snail repellent sprays. With these steps, your outdoor sofa will stay snail-free and inviting for humans only!
