CONTROL THE PLAGUES OF SNAILS AND SLUG.

     Snails and slugs are some molluscs without legs, used to move her own body through stretching and contractions, such as worms, belong to the family of gastropods, are equipped with a spiral Lake, in the case of snails , which serves as a refuge and a sort of thickening cord in the case of slugs. During the night show maximum activity when the ground is wet and humid atmosphere.

The snails are in the habit of going out to feed to the late afternoon or dawn.

     To move or slobber secrete a mucus, which helps them locomotion slipping on it, it is also a means of protection against injuries, bacteria, other insects like ants and a moisturiser regulator temperature. Snails and slugs breathe through lungs and are hermaphroditic, this means they have sperm and ovaries after mate and inseminarse one another to fertilize the ovaries internally deposited eggs from 80 to 160 in a nest, made a small hole on the floor, in a sheltered spot and dug through its tail and then to cover them, preferably in spring and autumn in the rainy season. After 15 days, the eggs begin to hatch. The young snails feed, and 6-12 months reached sexual maturity and become adult.

The slugs have the body constituted by very robust and elastic muscles.

     These mollusks grow and develop in moist environments where conditions are not favorable for snails, took refuge in his house which is its , conch creating a layer or membrane that isolates them from abroad. During cold winter beneath the earth, stones or piles of rubbish.

The snails use the slobber that they segregate to move and of thermal regulator.

     Snails and slugs have a mouth formed by teeth, left a very distinctive mark on the leaves of plants. They are voracious mollusks that feed on a variety of plants, leaves and vegetables. During the day hiding, leaving mainly at night or on cloudy days and after rain or irrigation. They are most damaging snails that slugs, snails because they prefer green leaves and slug leaves faded or fallen, perhaps even eat animal waste, but not disdain the tender stems of plants.

When the snail grows, also his shell does it.

     His injury is similar to that done by caterpillars, although their presence is noticeable by its track silver slobber , ranging leaving gate, when the track and excessive damage, we can identify it as a plague of snails. Although only localicemos to smallest of the species, the fact remains that can be as voracious snails as adults, making great damage to our plants or new outbreaks.
