And knowing me you wouldn't be surprised that I zeroed in on the human health issues since those snails will eat rat feces that can then, when the snails go sliding by, spread some serious human diseases. And also that their prime time to go from burrowing to dining is during the hurricane season.

Again, if this has been discussed I apologize, if not, have any of you been facing this issue? I know it started in the Miami area and I also know that some of you garden in that area, and I also know that the snails usually dine on native FL flora, but what comes next as one might ask?

Carolyn,
Thanks for the post. I will definitely google that. Hope it takes them a long time
to get to Orlando. You know like. Slow as a Snail.
