ABSTRACT:
The ONE-WAY SNAIL GATE invention permits a snail or slug to cross in one direction but not the reverse. Thin wires suspend the ONE-WAY GATE in functional position without providing an escape surface to the snails. The SNAIL PEN is a trap formed of at least one ONE-WAY GATE and one or more isolation or barrier devices. The SNAIL PUB is a complete system for collecting live snails formed of the SNAIL PEN trap and the SNAIL COCKTAIL attractant, an actively growing yeast cultured in an aqueous sugar solution. The SNAIL SPIKE MATRIX barrier is a suspended, downward-facing matrix of points with gaps between the points that deprives a snail's foot of gripping surface from which to suspend the snail's weight if it attempts to traverse the underside of the matrix. The SNAIL WHEEL is a barrier formed of one or more disks rotatably mounted on an axle which will rotate downward bearing the snail to the lowest point on the disk, and thereafter rotate counter to the snail's effort to climb back. The SNAIL SALT STRIP barrier is a waterproof substrate, adapted for garden and agricultural environments, whose underside is coated with a water-soluble salt exposed to contact traversing snails.
