No Planaria vs Assassin Snails.

So. My snails apparently are smarter than me.

I've been grabbing small pest snails as I can, but my assassins are wily. Will no planaria hurt them? Should I put out bait and wait with tongs or something?

No planaria might or might not kill your pest snails, along with your assassins. Seems it's random if it kills them or not. I think your best bet is to starve your assassins and hope they go for the pests. Trapping will work to some extent.

Owch.

I'll have to ... TONG IT UP.

Well. Time to turn in my degree and ask for a refund. They haven't been turning up at feeding time. I am dumber than a snail. /shakefist
