So in my random travels on shift today, I noticed tons of apple snail egg sacs on grasses in and around a portion of the retention pond/drainage area surrounding a local business property, and not commonly seeing them at locations close in the city limits, I looked up on the LA WLF site to see if there was a reporting line/site. Sure enough, they have a graphic of a brochure about them which has contact number and e-mail for an Aquatic Nuisance Species Coordinator, with a heading stating "For more information or to report a possible apple snail, contact," the hotline number even stating available 24 hours a day. I snapped a pic and attached it to an e-mail which included the location/address, and sent it off. Shortly after, I received a reply stating that WLF has no treatment program, and recommended hand removal of the snails or egg sacs. All this to get to what has me pondering, why the hell do they have a reporting hotline if they don't do a damn thing with the information? I already knew that it's recommended to knock the egg sacs into the water, but I figured that if they're advertising "report here," that there might be something a bit better than "good luck" as a response. Some chemical treatments can be used, apparently, but I guess they leave that up to someone else to figure out.
