Q.white liitle snail eating roots in plants
I live in florida and there is a lot of sand in my patio. I planted some bulbs with new soil. Few days later I found all these little white round snails around the plants. I digged the plant out and found the roots are gone and many of the snails and white little pieces that look like small rocks around the roots. What are they? how do I get rid of them?
There are several snails in Florida that attack gardens. It could be one of these:

Removing them by hand is often the most effective method, but there are some other options:
