Are they attracted to certain plants or habitats or anything? like overflowing plants that provide good shelter for them in the sun? or walls with crevices in to hide out in? I`m just guessing, no idea really! just going of different places i`ve lived, some gardens seem more prone to snails than slugs or vice versa, and some have equal numbers.. Is it just luck of the draw where the happy little campers set up home?
