  Snails and Slugs Management Guidelines--UC IPM
Snails and slugs are among the most bothersome pests in many garden and landscape situations.
Both snails and slugs are members of the mollusk phylum and are similar in structure and biology, except slugs lack the snail’s external spiral shell.
Snails and slugs move by gliding along on a muscular "foot." This muscle constantly secretes mucus, which later dries to form the silvery "slime trail" that signals the presence of either pest.

Garden snails, for example, use to rest in sheltered places during hot summer days, and at night, they move towards cultivated plants to enjoy their meal.
