If you have web access, may I suggest looking at the following websites for
information?  If you don't, I'll be glad to send the information to you.
Also, please inform APHIS <http://www.aphis.usda.gov> about your terrestial
flatworm infestations.  They are a potentially serious problem and there are
ongoing efforts to squash all colonies of alien pests before they have a
good chance to get established in the United States.

APHIS's email address is web-requests@email.aphis.usda.gov
