Snails

Snails are soft bodied animals that are covered with a typical spiral shell containing most of its internal organs. The shell of adult garden snails can be between 12-38 mm in diameter. They are most active at night or during cloudy or rainy periods. Eggs are laid in the ground and also act as the overwintering stage. Snails have the ability to become dormant inside the shell during dry, hot conditions, a luxury that is not shared with slugs.

Snails and slugs feed on living plants and organic matter. They have rough tongues with which they rasp foliage and can cause extensive damage to seedlings and other soft garden plants. A silvery trail is sometimes the only evidence of the nightly visitor that destroyed your plants.
