I have more than 50 giant African giant snails on my terrace and there s no potential predator of them, Will they cause any harm on my terrace, If yes what can I do to control their population.

That is not what I said in this specific case, I just don´t think it will a remarkable difference and I am not really in favour of these kinds of - in my opinion - useless killing incentives, even if it is about introduced species. ( It´s something else if it is done with a sustainable, thought-thro…

That’s what I fear the most!!!

But who says about everybody? It’s a one man project, not a world collaboration, Colombian fauna can’t affect it. Just don’t make anything out of those shells and that’s all, people won’t care about gathering of snails.

And also a NGO in south of india is eradicating Giant African Snail by collecting them from local people and giving them money and they make soaps out of there slimes. That looks like a best way

Are you kidding me? …Sorry, but you are just about to leave the basis for an insightful discurs and I will save my breath on you here as I feel it will lead nowhere…
