If you do get the diatomaceous earth, make sure it's food grade, not the crap for pools.

Then you can be sure it's safe for everyone:thumbsup:

Diatomaceous Earth As Natural Pest Control:
One of the more popular uses of DE is as a natural form of pest control. Because of the many tiny sharp edges on each specimen of DE, when it comes in contact with insects DE absorbs the waxy coating that covers the insect, causing a laceration of the exposed tissue. This is aggravated by the insects writhing. The insect dies from dehydration, usually within a few hours.

It may help with the lil ones, but I don't think it's gonna stand a chance against Mr. Snail.
