snails on my crepe myrtle

Question

I have snails on my crepe myrtle. Are these harmful and, if so, what can I do to control them? Thank you.

Answer 1

Yes, snails can do some harm to the tree by feeding on the leaves, or worse, by getting into other areas of the garden and having themselves a feeding frenzy. It is best to get rid of them.
