Snails in small garden?

I have a very small walled garden containing only lawn. When it rained the other day I noticed thousands of baby snails climbing the walls and on my verandah. How can I get rid of them without putting down any poisons, as I have small birds feeding there daily. Please help. I also notice slugs appearing on the walls at night, but they are not many (yet).
