Title: How high can snails climb?
Post by: JackieW on September 11, 2013, 06:04:58 pm

Because I don't think I can see any trails on upstairs windows from the ground.

On ground floor they appear after I start brushing. Brush harder and they disappear.

First floor, I can't see them.

I don't think there is a limit as to how high they can go!, if you know they are on the upstairs windows, you will just have to be extremely thorough and hope you get it off. Bear in mind though, once the window dries, you wont see the snail trails, so unless customer at home while you are there, you should be safe enough!....hm

Fly droppings are a bigger problem.

I saw one eating a cannabis plant today. I think that's the highest snail I've seen so far.

A tip to stop snails getting to first floor windows (and beyooooooond) is to remove their shell.
It makes them more sluggish.
