Where we getting this?

Foreign ting.

Seems to be very effective…..but you know Trinis..they would ban it because it slowing down the sales for the less effective products.

Harmful to pets?

This product has a non-toxic mode of action and can be used in areas where pet and wildlife protection is a concern. When slugs and snails ingest the bait, they stop feeding and crawl back to their shelter where they eventually die. It remains effective under varying weather and environmental conditions.

Was the latest on the snail scenes?
What successes yall having with spray on chemicals? The bait too risky around dogs so I wanna try the spray chemicals if any working

[Chimera]

none of those sprays work except thiovin which is banned

Alf,

As Chimera said, Thiovin was most effective.

Right now all dem agri shop pushing Nimbecidine….but that is just a lil ease up and not the all time solution.

Snails coming out in full force with the rain, and the rain washing out all the chemicals.

Boi i thinking electric fence floor level in dey MC

[Chimera]

that Nimbecidine fully useless

u cud spray that direct on snails in a bucket and they still alive the next day

i trying to bring in some Thiodicarb powder, the active ingredient in Thiovin

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Neighbour released 2 ducks in his yard... No more GAS!!!

[Chimera]

but the duck sheit...and the smell...and the noise

and my dogs will eat them

[shake d livin wake d dead]

That's the problem with the ducks... It's a give and take situation.. Lol... But when I went by the man, not a snail in sight

Despite the rains
The bait + picking up the ½dead and drowning them in chlorine solution seems to be have a positive effect
I barely seeing any in my immediate area

Although i bought the spray for the eggs (dont recall the name atm)
I didnt bother to spray due to the constant rains and the fact that i actually removing them from the grass.

I still feel pick up and drown is what working best yes
Of course, if is a big infestation, that may not be practical

I does sprinkle with no mercy

[sMASH]

Have a few common fowl and only saw a few Snail in the near vicinity . Right around, the places are over run years now so it seems the yard fowl doing the work. I dont feed them, so they HAVE to find their food. Every so often we see the damaged snail shell.
Is a big region they have to roam freely though. No fencing... Hardly ever see them day time

Will the bait attract cats also? 2 kills with one poison, snail and them dam stray cats.

[bluefete]

Do red worms and GAS go together?

I used to see congorees and black worms now I am only seeing red worms.

[fokhan_96]

Sprinkle some dry soap powder (Breeze) on them. Dead within a minute.

[eitech]

Collected and submerged in some bleach for a couple days

These things are a MAJOR problem get the blue poison for snail ASAP, flame thrower anything you can get your hands on to kill them permanently, don't crush them because the eggs and little ones will spread.

They spread and multiply incredibly fast and once it happens there is noway to get rid of them from your area.

I adopted a small to medium size Caiman I found in my yard during the flood, I say well he will deal with these snails but he was useless he didn't eat any of the snails, he just loafed around sleeping all day and terrorized my mother instead, ended up dumping him in a nearby abandoned pond that has some fishes.

only real option is natural predation
