ABSTRACT:
A device which serves as a barrier precluding the migration of ground dwelling pests of, but not limited to the Phylum Mollusca, Class Gastropoda (snails and slugs) therebeyond. The barrier has a concavo-convex-spiraloid configuration in cross-section generally defined as an involute. The barrier has an interior which is concave and contains an upwardly disposed trough. The trough serves as a container for baits to attract and retain snails for later collection. Alternatively, the trough may also serve as a container for pesticides and pesticide-containing baits such that said baits are presented to pests with virtually no risk of access to and accidental poisoning of pets and children. The exterior of the barrier is a substantially convex configuration. The various component parts forming the barrier may be assembled using a plurality of linear and angular connectors such that the barrier can accommodate cultivated areas of varying enclosed geometric configurations.
