Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Snailkill uses a unique "Attract and Eliminate" strategy to clear your fields.

  1. Lure & Ingest: The pellets contain food-grade attractants that smell delicious to snails, tricking them into eating the bait.
  2. Rapid Dehydration: Once ingested or touched, the active ingredient triggers massive mucus secretion. The snail loses all its body water rapidly.
  3. Immobilization: The pest becomes paralyzed, dries out (desiccates), and dies, usually leaving a tell-tale blue/green slime trail.

Note: It acts as both a stomach poison (eating) and a contact poison (touching).

How to applyDosage & Application Guide

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Never pile the pellets; scatter them for safety and efficacy.

How to applyDosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
CropDose (kg / Acre)Water (L / Acre)Dose (g / 100 sq ft)PHI (Days)
Field Crops (Moderate Infestation)2 - 5 kgNone (Direct Soil Application)-7 - 10
Plantations (Heavy Infestation)10 - 25 kgNone-7 - 10
Home Garden / Pots-None50 - 80 g7 - 10

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Always check the product leaflet for crop-specific PHI.

Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
  • Timing: Snails are nocturnal (active at night). Apply the pellets in the late evening or just after sunset for maximum contact.
  • Placement: Do not heap the pellets. "Scatter" them thinly near the base of plants, along field borders, and in damp, shady corners where snails hide.
  • Sanitation: Clear away weeds and heavy debris before applying. This forces the snails to seek out the bait instead of eating weeds.
  • Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Keep pets away from treated areas.
