CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to cure snails (How to cure snail scale insects)

1. What is the best way to eliminate snails?

Prevention and treatment methods

(1) Poison bait: Use 6% metaldehyde granules for killing in the evening, 500-700 grams per mu, and spread, apply in strips or spots on the ridges in the field in the evening. It has a long lasting effect and good results.

(2) Spray control: During the peak period of snail infestation, 80% metaldehyde wettable powder 300 times diluted can be evenly sprayed on the leaves of crops. Spray once every 7 days, and spray 2 to 3 times in a row, so that snails can more easily contact the pesticide when they are active, which can achieve better results.

(3) Root irrigation: Soak tea seed powder in clean water for 1 to 2 days, then dilute the tea seed water 50 to 60 times and irrigate the roots of fruit trees, flowers and other crops. This can effectively prevent and control the damage caused by snails. This method has a long lasting effect and good results.

2. Can you give some tips on preventing and controlling snails?

1. Sprinkle wood ash. In the evening, sprinkle dry and pure wood ash on the stems and leaves of melons and vegetables. If the stems and leaves are dry, spray some clean water on them first to moisten the leaves before spreading the ash. Snails will no longer climb up the stems and leaves to bite them.

2. Spread lime powder. After a heavy rain, spread a layer of lime powder around the crops, about 3 to 5 mm thick and 40 to 50 cm wide. The snails that harm the crops will be killed by the lime powder.

3. Remove weeds, thoroughly clean up stones and debris on the edge of the ground that can be used as habitats for snails, and eliminate snail breeding grounds. Cultivating and cultivating the soil can kill some snails and reduce snail density.

4. Trapping with vegetable leaves: In the evening, place several large vegetable leaves or fresh grass piles in the field. Snails will hide under them at night. The leaves can be uncovered in the early morning of the next day to kill the trapped snails.

5. Artificial capture. Snails crawl very slowly and are easy to catch. In the early morning or on rainy days, it is easy to catch a large number of snails on the soil or plants.

6. Chemical control. Generally, use 1-1.5 kg of 8% Metformin per mu, mix with 10-20 kg of sieved fine soil, and spread on the soil surface in the evening on a sunny day. Or use 6% Metformin granules at 1 g/m2, mix with dry fine sand and spread evenly in the ridge for control.

3. How to completely and quickly eliminate snails in the vegetable field?

1. Sprinkle quicklime or wood ash on the ground

Spreading quicklime or wood ash around the roots of plants or between rows is an effective way to control snails and slugs. When quicklime and wood ash come into contact with snails and slugs, they not only quickly dehydrate the snails and slugs and kill them, but also block their pores, suffocating the pests to death.

When spreading quicklime or wood ash, we should do it when the soil is relatively dry.

2. Spray the mixture of pepper and garlic

Both chili water and garlic water are highly irritating, and snails or slugs have soft bodies and will die quickly after coming into contact with the "mixed juice of chili and garlic."

3. Artificial capture

Although manual capture is a stupid method, it is very practical for small vegetable gardens. Snails and slugs are afraid of direct sunlight and like to hide during the day and come out at night, so we must choose the right time for manual capture. We can choose to capture in the morning, evening or rainy days. Manual capture has a good effect on reducing the source of insects and reducing damage.

4. Kill with tea bran

Tea bran is the residue left after oil is extracted from camellia seeds and contains saponins, which have contact killing and stomach poisoning effects on pests such as snails, grubs, maggots and mole crickets.

To control snails or slugs with tea bran, we can sprinkle tea bran directly on the ground, and when snails or slugs come into contact with the tea bran, they will be poisoned and killed. We can also soak tea bran in water and spray it on the leaves, which can also effectively kill snails and slugs.

5. Spreading "Metaldehyde"

Metaldehyde is a highly selective molluscicide that has a good killing effect on golden apple snails, snails, and slugs. When snails or slugs come into contact with metaldehyde, their mucus will be destroyed, and they will lose a lot of body fluids and die.

4. How to completely and quickly eliminate snails in the vegetable field?

Control of snails and slugs: Spread metaldehyde and snail killer around dusk to prevent and control snails and slugs.

5. How to eliminate snails?

1. The fundamental solution is to keep it dry. You can sprinkle lime or put charcoal on damp places, and keep the room ventilated.

2. Artificial killing: When snails are active in the evening, morning or on cloudy days, catch the snails on the plants and collect them together; or use branches, weeds, vegetable leaves and other bait piles to make the snails lurk in the bait piles and kill them in batches.

3. Control the base number and worsen their living environment. Thoroughly remove weeds, stones and other places where snails can live in the field and sprinkle quicklime to reduce the snail's activity range; turn over and loosen the soil in time to expose eggs and adult clams to the soil surface and die in the sun. In winter, some adult clams and young clams will freeze to death or be eaten by natural enemies.

6. How do shell-less soft snails breed and what methods can be used to eradicate them?

Humid environments will breed snails without shells. They mainly feed on mosses and the roots, stems and leaves of various plants. Sprinkling salt on them can kill them. Using pesticides such as snail antagonist and cypermethrin can eradicate them, but it will be harmful to the environment. Snails without shells are called slugs, commonly known as slugs. They are a kind of mollusk and form the order Pulmonales with some snails. They are hermaphrodites and look like snails without shells. Their body surface is moist and has mucus. Sprinkling salt on them will dehydrate them and kill them. Methods to eradicate slugs: Spray insecticides such as snail antagonist and cypermethrin to completely eradicate slugs.

7. Are these two methods the only way to completely and efficiently control snails?

1. Killing with poison bait: Use 8% metaldehyde granules, about 500 grams per mu, and spread it in the evening, apply it in strips or spots (the spot application distance should be 40-50 cm) on the ridges of the field to kill, which has a good effect.

2. Chemical control: For snails on leaves, you can use 300 times diluted 80% metaldehyde wettable powder or 800-1000 times diluted 98% copper sulfate to spray the crops in the evening. This will make it easier for snails to contact the pesticides when they are active, and the ideal effect can be achieved. Apply the pesticide again after two weeks for better results.
