Their luminous beaty makes it impossible to think of them as pests. I always hope some insectivorous friend is in for a treat. That invasive nuissance, the European brown snail, is the only creature I am at constant war with. The newt population moderates the plague of slugs, but the imported snails don't have enough native predators. That's my job. No, I don't eat them, although they are the same species one is served at restaurants. I torture them with zinc-based baits. They die a lingering death from malnutrition. Snails bring out my inner psychopath.ButchPansynoreply@blogger.com
