ABSTRACT:
An effective, readily ingested molluscicidal bait poison includes an inert mollusc bait and two active ingredient precursors. These precursors are edible and non-toxic to terrestrial molluscs when consumed alone. However, the composition which includes the two precursors is fatally toxic to terrestrial molluscs. One precursor is a simple iron compound, while the other precursor is selected from edetic acid, its hydroxyethyl derivatives and salts of these acids. In another embodiment a single active ingredient may replace the two precursors. This active ingredient may include ferric edetate and the ferric hydroxyethyl derivative of edetic acid.
