ABSTRACT:
A molluscicide composition is provided which is highly effective and environmentally safe. The composition includes a carrier compound, an attractant, and a molluscicide agent. The attractant consists of metaldehyde and the molluscicide agent consists of atomized powdered elemental aluminum. Wheat, barley, oats, corn and mill-run bran are used as the carrier compounds. In a preferred form of the invention, a preservative, a dispersing agent and water are added to enhance the preparation and stability of the composition. The composition may be applied in meal, pellet, cake or slurry form. It is highly effective in killing terrestrial molluscs (slugs and snails) while avoiding the environmental and efficacy problems of other molluscicide compositions, including those using metaldehyde as the sole molluscicide agent.
