<p num="1"><br/><br/><br/>Novel materials for controlling molluscs, such as snails and slugs, using <br/>carbohydrates including celluloses, hemi-cellulose complexes, and/or lignin, <br/>for inducing death in molluscs. The materials are non-toxic, will not <br/>contaminate a drinking water supply, will not harm fish, birds or wild life, <br/>will not cause any harmful effects if swallowed or absorbed through the skin, <br/>will not harm children or pets, and can be safely eaten by domestic animals <br/>and livestock that may consume such dead molluscs. The materials may be <br/>applied in various formulations at various water contents. The materials do <br/>not provide nutrition to the molluscs, and disrupt normal bodily functions <br/>resulting in death. An attractant may be included to encourage ingestion by <br/>the molluscs.<br/></p> |
