Tiny snail shells

| I have what look like tiny snail shells in my bin. I noticed a couple a few days ago, and they have since rapidly multiplied. Any idea what they are or what to do? I believe they are common door snails, if my research is correct.
Thanks! |

| I see these tiny shells in my compost [seem to be empty] I thought they might be Decollate snails [prey on large brown garden snails], but the shape of the shell is different. But the Decollate is also said to eat worms. Do you see signs of these snail-like creatures eating your worms? When you squish these shells, are they empty? I hope someone with experience will answer you, as I'm curious, too. |

| They are definitely empty. I haven't seen any evidence of eaten worms, but I'm not sure I'd know what to look for. There are plenty of worms and they are eating up a storm and mating. Thanks for the response! |
