Thanks for the interesting information!!! And for those people that hate snails because they eat your leaves in your garden or maybe your plants...Just so you know, you need to buy a "Decollate Snail" and put it where you have snails, which are around garden or plants. These snails are snail killers yes they kill your snails and slugs, and they are non toxic if your animal would come to eat one!!!! This would be much better than putting out poison that really would kill you furry baby....
Thanks Cher.
