Souvenir Snail Becomes Mainland Pest Warning
An apparently harmless Hawaii souvenir snail grew to over five inches in Canton Ohio. The owner raised a colony producing 100 offspring prompting a Hawaii society official to order destruction. Inspector Drebnick confirmed proper action and Mrs Harrison received a Plant Quarantine Division award for handling the case. Giant African snails threaten plants and are illegal to import to mainland states.
