How to avoid spreading New Zealand mudsnails

Containment measures Steps to avoid spreading New Zealand mudsnails:* Avoid water contact. Staying out of creeks is the best way to prevent spread.* Avoid going from stream to stream; don’t transfer anything wet (such as boots, fishing gear, rafts, waders) to other bodies of water. Brush off horses’ hoofs and bicycle tires.* After every trip, thoroughly remove all mud and debris from your belongings and completely dry them. Afterward, put them in the dryer on high heat for a minimum of two hours. You can also place gear in a freezer for two days.Source: Heal the Bay and the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission
