what do slugs and snails do in winter?

Question

do they hibernate?

Answer 1

Slugs & snails prefer to live in damp, shady places, among plants, plant debris and humus; crawling into crevices or beneath stones, pots, plastic etc... during the cold winter, or sunny daytime.

Only snails hibernate, sealing themselves within their shells. Slugs are more cold hardy & remain active in all but freezing weather.
Severe weather will dramatically reduce their number as will a long hot spell, as they lose moisture rapidly in dry heat.
They may feed several yards away and food is located by smell.
It has been found in trials that when damage becomes noticeable numbers can be 50/60 per square meter and can increase to 100/200 during warm damp conditions
