Green Snails

Biosecurity SA has warned South Australians and travellers to beware of the risk of green snails entering the state. The declared exotic plant pest was recently detected for the first time in Victoria, at Cobram in a lucerne crop. The infestation is near a direct interstate route with the potential for the snail to be carried in hay bales, nursery stock or harvested leafy vegetables. Primary Industries in Victoria has established a 25 kilometre radius exclusion zone around the Cobram site infestation.

Any travellers entering South Australia from Victoria or New South Wales, if they are carrying vegetables with them, must hand it in at the border quarantine stations, or appropriate quarantine bins.
