This chapter reviews the ecology, biology and control of white (Theba pisana and Cochlicella virgata) and conical (Cochlicella spp.) snails. Topics include life history and population dynamics; dispersal; polymorphism in relation to shell banding pattern; intra- and interspecific interactions; and cultural, chemical and biological control methods.
