During the 47 years I have lived in this property I have noticed that
over the years the pest population has changed from being almost
entirely slugs, to become almost entirely snails!

There are only a few slugs appear in my garden after a humid night, but
snails are everywhere.

Is it just that there is less homelessness today? ;-)

The same has happened here (North Cheshire) and further North where my
mothers in Lancashire. The snail population has reached a very high
level over the last 10 years while slugs are getting quite rare.
