Default Moan of the week

We have them climbing the uprights of the veranda
http://www.myalbum.co.uk/Album=MUKLG34Q and even hang on under the bird
box, but never had them climb up the glass.

Now that's odd Pam because we had a snail halfway up one of the patio

'Glass Climbing Snails'?

Window cleaner came last week.
Today there was a snail halfway up my kitchen window!
There were also 2 on the window of the bus this morning!
Where do they think they are going!


Mike,

I have that occurance on a regular basis along with slugs, woodlice and
earwigs - they all make for the old Elizabeth Montana clematis that covers
the front of the house to have a bloody good feed on it.

I'm quite often out there at night, just after a rainfall, killing the damn
things as they climb up the wall and glass.
