            Alien slugs

            16.10.2025, Tallinn. Due to increased plant trade and exchange, alien species that can cause damage to local plants and animals and are troublesome pests for gardeners have reached Estonia. Alongside plants, alien slug species have made themselves at home, of whom the Spanish slug and Krynickillus melanocephalus present the highest threat. Photo Eero Vabamägi, Postimees

                      Spanish slug (Arion vulgaris)

                      16JUL25, Harjumaa. Invasive slugs spreading across Estonia have been spotted in the wild several months earlier than usual this year. The Spanish slug (Arion vulgaris) is now firmly established locally, and the only effective way to control them is through consistent collection and destruction. Photo: Erik Prozes, Postimees
