Margerite I never saw a snail in my life until I moved out here and even then we didn't notice any until about 5 years ago. We don't see them every year - usually when we have really good rainfall.

Bernieh:

Do they eat everything in sight at night also?

African snails are our worst enemies. They can eat plant to the ground overnight. It is a constant battle that will never be won unfortunately. It's almost as bad as battling ants. It's futile!

Strangely these little fellows don't pose much of a problem here - this is the first time in my life I have ever seen snails in the garden! I don't know what it is about this particular location but they are usually unknown up here in north Queensland.

I know Marguerite from Northern Queensland said the same thing in a past posting. You're both so lucky to not have problems with snails.
