SLUGS AND SNAILS: A Review A variety of species are referred to as bush snails or orchid snails; they tend to shun the common baits; they can be controlled with drenching several times with Mesurol; the 75% ingredient is Methiocarb, a wettable powder; the smallest package available in N.Z. is 1.5 kg. priced at $125.00 retail. NZ86-193 | 0 |
SLUGS AND SNAILS: Baits Metaldehyde baits, especially the slow-release granular forms are first rate; Zectran is one of the best liquids. OD76-162 | 0 |
SLUGS AND SNAILS: Characteristics and Controls Both feed on buds and flowers, bush snails feed on other parts of plants also; use metaldehyde baits in combination with Sevin, Mesurol, Zectran, or Zectran sprays or drenches three times 10 to 14 days apart; regular treatments are best; remove all cover plants from around the greenhouse. AH10; N329; S194They prefer places that provide shelter, moisture and abundant food; they are nocturnal; in daylight they can be found under objects providing dampness; they feed on buds, flowers and roots; best control is sanitation, or by baits, such as Mesurol, metaldehyde, and metaldehyde with Sevin mix.

SLUGS AND SNAILS: Control Easily kept under control with new baits such as Que, Cooke, or Cory pellets which can be placed on the media, walks, benches and which lasts for months; liquid baits are applied to the plants and walks, etc. OD69-116 | 0 |
SLUGS AND SNAILS: Controls Deadline, a metaldehyde preparation has proved effective in potting media of inert materials; Mesurol is also recommended but is restricted to California. A86-506 | 0 |
SLUGS AND SNAILS: Damaged Flowers or Spikes These indicate where the pests are lurking so leave them on until night-time because snails invariably return to the same feeding place and can be found in the night with a flashlight. OA80-80 | 0 |
SLUGS AND SNAILS: How to Control Them Use Mesurol (Bayer 37344, or Methiocarb) at the rate of 6.6grams per liter of water, or 61tpg., treating also the benches where they might wander; the kill takes a month; Sevin is less effective.; Mesurol costs about $25. a pound. A81-393 | 0 |
SLUGS AND SNAILS: In Greenhouses They have been introduced into greenhouses from various sources, the most troublesome two came to N.Z. from Europe and N.America (the bush snail); three of them came from the Mediterranean, Europe and North Africa; they thrive in bark mixes and sphagnum moss; the best control is by repeated pot drenches of Mesurol (75% Methiocarb WP).

SLUGS AND SNAILS: Potato as Bait Slice raw potato into pieces one inch square by a quarter inch thick and place on staging; slugs like it above all other food; change every few days; kill them early in the morning. OR70-80 | 0 |
SLUGS: Control Get rid of them by using Slug-Geta pellets, or a similar formulation consisting of metaldehyde and Mesurol. A77-108; use Slugit, A79-1112Use of arsenate and hydrated lime causes no injury to plants but provides poor control of small hard-shell snails; continued use might injure plants. A73-807 | 0 |
SLUGS: Table Salt Kills Them on Contact, Why Not Use it as a Drench? Do not use table salt as it may also kill the plants; use Slug-Geta pellets. A75-876 | 0 |
SNAILS: Tiny Ones in Pots Spray or dust bush snails with a metaldehyde preparation. A73-208 | 0 |
SNAILS: Treatment Use Sevin or Zectran. A77-314 | 0 |
