园艺业是外来蜗牛和蛞蝓的重要传播媒介。对夏威夷群岛苗圃的调查记录了31种陆生蜗牛/蛞蝓物种，其中除了两种外，其余都是外来物种，还有五种以前没有记录。个别设施有1-17种。总共有38种非本地陆生蜗牛/蛞蝓物种已经建立，起源于全球。每个岛屿上的数字并不反映调查地点的数量，而是反映每个岛屿上确定的总数。不同岛屿和不同规模苗圃的物种丰富度和群落组成差异显着。某些物种在奥陶纪（夏威夷的主要入境口岸）更为常见，因此这些外来物种中的大多数可能首先被引入奥陶纪，然后传播到其他岛屿。其中一些对苗圃造成损害。有些可能导致苗圃产品在无意中出口时被拒收。当它们被运输到新的地区并在那里定居时，它们可能会造成农业、园艺和环境问题。苗圃业和检疫官员必须提高对这些物种的认识。
The horticultural industry is an important vector of alien snails and slugs. Surveys of nurseries in the Hawaiian Islands recorded 31 terrestrial snail/slug species, all but two of them alien and five previously unrecorded. Individual facilities had 1-17 species. In total, 38 non-native terrestrial snail/slug species have become established, originating globally. Numbers on each island do not reflect numbers of survey locations but rather the total numbers established on each island. Species richness and community composition in nurseries differed significantly among islands and among different-sized nurseries. Certain species were more common on Oahu (main port of entry to Hawaii) so most of these alien species may have been first introduced to Oahu and then spread to other islands. Some of them cause damage in nurseries. Some may cause shipments of nursery products to be rejected when they are inadvertently exported with them. When they are transported to and become established in new areas they may cause agricultural, horticultural and environmental problems. Greater awareness of these species is necessary in the nursery industry and among quarantine officials.
