I also live in Otay Ranch and yesterday while on a walk I noticed the plants, trees, signs, and walkways near the corner of EastLake Parkway and Hunt Parkway to be covered in snails. You could not walk without crushing them. The shear number of snails is to great to even estimate. I’d compare the site to how the bottoms of a boat might look, covered in muscles after long periods of time in the ocean. Help please!

Many of these snails in the San Elijo Lagoon, La Orilla trail, near where the construction closure is located.

I park my truck across the street near an open field on eastgate mall corridor by our business. The field weeds had WGS on them. They traveled on my truck tailgate to my house. I looked at the back of the truck and peeled them off and crushed them to death as I didnt want them in my garden in north park. I knew what they were. They are infesting all the field weeds here.

Cheryl, Teresa M here from Otay Mesa/Chula Vista area. These snails are killing my backyard plants. It doesn’t matter how much snail bait I put out, they just keep multiplying. Pest control put their stuff out, but the little buggers are still here. I even put out trays of beer....didn’t care for the beer....HELP!! Salt water spray is next...will keep you updated..frustrated in Otay!!
