Product Overview:
Snailkill is a ready-to-use molluscicide / insecticide pellet formulation by PI Industries, containing Metaldehyde 2.5%. It is specifically designed to control snails, slugs, and related gastropods that damage a variety of crops and environments like potato, carrot, citrus, grapevine, tea, paddy seedlings, greenhouses, mushroom beds, etc. The pellets are applied as bait: snails/slugs eat them, produce excess mucus, dehydrate, and die. The product is target-specific and formulated for ease of use.
