This snail is commonly found in urban areas, where it inhabits gardens and abandoned lots.&nbsp;They feed on dead and living plant material, carrion, fungi, moss, and insects<sup>1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cepaea nemoralis<\/em> has a yellow, pink, or brown shell. The shell contains five dark bands. Banded wood snails&nbsp;are hermaphrodites, but cross fertilization occurs (each snail fertilizes the other). They often mate multiple times prior to egg-laying and can store sperm for up to 15 months. Eggs are buried in moist soil, hatching after about three weeks. The snails reach maturity in four years and may live as&nbsp; long as five to nine years<sup> 1, 4<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Worldwide Distribution:<\/u> <\/strong>Banded wood snails are distributed throughout much of Europe, extending to Poland. &nbsp;This snail was introduced into North America during the nineteenth century, and it is currently found in Virginia, New York, Ontario, and Massachusetts<sup>1, 2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Official Control:<\/u><\/strong> Banded wood snail is listed as a harmful organism in Canada, Israel, Japan, and Taiwan<sup>6<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>California Distribution:<\/u><\/strong> Banded wood snails have never been found in the environment of California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>California Interceptions:<\/u> <\/strong>Between January 2000 and August 2017, banded wood snails have been intercepted 20 times.&nbsp; These interceptions include border station inspections and high risk pest exclusion activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The risk <em>Cepaea nemoralis <\/em>(Banded wood snail) would pose to California is evaluated below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consequences of Introduction:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Climate\/Host Interaction<\/strong>: Banded wood snails can feed on a variety of live and dead plants and dead animals and insects, including remains of ants, beetles, spiders, mites, springtails, and aphids. Banded wood snails may establish in larger, but limited, warm agricultural and metropolitan areas of California.

Pest Dispersal Potential<\/strong>: Banded wood snails are obligately outcrossing hermaphrodites, with both individuals exchanging sperm during mating, and both individuals able to lay eggs afterward. On average, they lay 30-80 eggs that hatch in 15-20 days. Breeding takes place from April through October. The snail&#8217;s foot is used to create a cavity in the soil where the eggs are deposited<sup>1, 4<\/sup>.
