I used to believe that. I'm not so sure anymore. Sure, if the squashed

I just know it works with Bush snails. As soon as I quit Squishing --
the population was easier to control. Less new ones were there
each time. The only difference on my controls was tossing them in the
indoor wastebasket rather than squishing in the gh with my fingers.

What works -- Works.
