what is the best way to aprroach players that limp & call a raise nearly every hand

I have recently noticed alot of players that limp every hand, and when raised they will call no matter what. I'm just wondering what would be the best line to take against this weak but annoying type of player. I find it very hard to put them on anything as there range is obviously rediculous and raising pre flop doesn't seem to be effective at all as they will always limp then call the raise.
Just want to see what the general thoughts are, and how you would play against this please. thanks for looking.

raise wide and c-bet about 70pc of flops.

if we are then called and have nothing then we can lock down...depending on texture of board.

ie if you've raised pre and seen a flop of K 8 3 r and then they check/call they either have a K or an 8 and prob aren't folding

if you've raised pre and seen a flop of K T 8 hh and they check/call then they can ahve a K/T but can also have a load of straight/flush draws too so you can keep betting on blank turns/rivers

with a name like yours i wouldnt fold either life tilt ;)nah .just make your raises bigger so you get extra value and if they still keep calling make your raises make even bigger

If you r widening your range and raising them, you are missingthe flop 2/3 times anyway and your money will start to go down esp against someone who just won,t fold.
This also depends how deep you are and very much on the dynamics of the table as often when you do raise your bringing more than one player into the pot with you.
I,d prefer to nit up and be patient

i say this because it happened the other day repeatedly and  I followed this strategy , yet everytime i hit something my opoment/opponents were hitting better or catching their draws/flushes - Ok - i was unlucky on some occasions but felt i was getting dragged into pots with a wide range when i shouldn,t have been in them in the first place and was leaking money left,right and centre, yet there were one or 2 players who were just sitting back and waiting for prem hands or limping and waiting to hit hard - they wre the eventual winners
