Florida began the invasion of giant snails

Not so long ago the authorities of the state of Florida began to fight with the invasion of giant snails the size of a rat. These animals are a threat to human health, property and agriculture.



The last time the giants traveled to Florida in 1970, and it took one million dollars and 10 years to bring them out. Unlike normal snails, these can eat almost everything that comes in their way, including more than 400 varieties of plants that grow in the state.



Moreover, the hard shells of snails can cause punctures and tears tires of the car. Well, the slime and excrement of these huge molluscs on the sidewalks of disgust from passers-by. But perhaps the main problem is the risk of meningitis in humans.



Recently experts gathered at the Symposium to discuss the way of enhancing the fight against molluscum (they want to use bait). At the same time, the state authorities are trying to find the source of the invasion and prevent the migration of mollusks to the North.
