Entomological Investigation of the Main Entomatic Adversities for Terrestrial Gastropods Helix aspersa Müller (Mollusca Gastropoda Pulmonata): A Preliminary Study in Sardinian Heliciculture Farms

Beetles that predate on the Helix aspersa Müller species represent a serious problem
for snail farms, causing serious damage, and progressively lead to a reduction in the snail population.
Entomological control in snail farms is of fundamental importance to avoid massive colonization that
could lead to their death. The greatest difficulty in finding effective solutions to combat predators is
that of not being able to use chemicals, given that they would damage the health of the snails. In this
study, all the variables that may be considered to avoid an increase in predators were considered and
are discussed.
