They are not a problem here, but sometime ago I found several in one or two
pots, chewing roots and damaging some bulbs too. I looked and found some

years in the orchid area...Sorry to report that they are a true menace and
are not easily controlled. The big problem is that they have no sense of
smell so that the normal deterrents do not work well. The only tried and
We had the same problem in a commercial Gerbera operation up here in Canada.
The bush snails were causing irregular leaf growth and no flower production,
