Hi folks, is this a vermetid snail? Noticed a couple of them in the last day or 2.

If so, is it right enough that bumble bee snails will get rid? Or anything else other than glue?

Those are vermetid snails. If you don't have too many, just superglue over their head or crush them. I have no experience with bumble bee snails so maybe others can chime in.

I glues over the 2 or 3 I can see... Also tried to pick 2 off but that didn't go too well so possibly made it worse! Was hoping there is some truth behind the bumble bee snails so they could maybe get the ones I can't see

Break the tip of it first then the bumble bees will go to town on it.
