Product Information




Decollate snails are easy to differentiate from brown snails. The beneficial killer snails have conical shells and grow to about 2 inch - 2 1/2 inch long while adult brown snails have 1 inch - 1 1/2 inch semi-circular shells. Decollate means to behead. Decollate snails are fearsome carnivores, pursuing their gastropod cousins and burrowing into their fleshy body cavity until they are consumed.Decollate snails feed on Helix aspersa (European Brown) garden snail and White garden snail.Once the Decollates have attacked all the pest snails, they will then feed on leaf litter (decomposing organic material).

There are more than 40,000 species of snails and slugs throughout the world. They are survivors and adapt well to almost any climate. They can be found everywhere including trees, ponds and streams even in salt water shorelines. They seem to especially love flower and vegetable gardens. Snails can do major damage to a garden in one night because each snail has hundreds of small teeth. They shred their food, mainly plant material (including flowers), by means of a ribbonlike organ, called the radula, that is covered with hundreds of these small teeth and it seems like they always have an appetite.

The Decollate snails are nocturnal predators and are rarely visible during the day. They usually burrow into the soil during the day and emerge at night to prey. They normally do not eat healthy plant material nor do they climb walls, fences etc. Decollate snails have been used here in the United States since the 1930s in the Agricultural Industry. The Decollate snail lays eggs every 30 days and each snail lives approximately 2 years.
