About Slugs & Snails
These common garden pests have soft, slimy bodies and leave a silvery trail as they move, feeding primarily on young, tender plants and lawn clippings. Their chewing damage creates irregular holes in leaves and seedlings, which can weaken plants and reduce lawn health in Middle Tennessee yards like those in Franklin and Spring Hill. Managing moisture and removing debris can help control slug and snail populations effectively.
