Default White translucent eggs or something?
Hi All,

Sorry for my first post here to be one of a request for help.. But I am afraid I really need some..

This morning we spotted a whole load of white little balls on our newly acquired grapes. I have no idea what they could be. they look to me like snail eggs, but as the plants are currently in planters on a balcony, I doubt that..

Is there anybody that can shed light on what it is, and how to treat it?

Thanks so much!

J.

Yes, they certainly look like snail eggs.

The snails probably came in with the new plant, hiding in the pot. Squish eggs and hunt snail!

So you guys recognize these buggs as snails, and not something more nasty like beetle/weevil eggs?

Tiny snails are easy get rid of Pfiew

Thx
