Default Slugs

Has anyone else found a strange pattern to slug and snail attack this year?
I hardly saw a slug till the last week, very few during the dry spell
though plenty of mature snails around, then we had the 5 inches of rain
and still very few slugs, but the rain in the last few days has brought
them out by the thousand, I exaggerate not, I put down pellets amongst
the dahlias which they had massacred in a day, I reckon on about 2000 +
dead, (the ground cover fabric shows all their trails and you can see
the corpses).
