Predator Snail Update

With everything beginning to grow furiously toward spring, it is time to get ready for snails, which will become much more active as the weather warms. For those who want to try the predacious decollate snails instead of snail baits, here are three sources:

Foothill Agricultural Research in Corona, (714) 371-0120 ($60 for a 1000).

Integrated Pest Management in San Gabriel, (818) 287-1101 ($25/100).

Sespe Creek Insectary in Fillmore, (805) 524-3565, ($7/100).

Prices do not include tax or shipping but all three can send the snails through the mail.
