How It Works: Mode of Action
Snailkill works as a molluscicidal bait. PI describes contact and ingestion activity, with excess mucus production and dehydration in exposed snails and slugs.
-
Place the bait: Use the crop-specific directions and keep animals away.
-
Pests encounter pellets: Snails and slugs contact or eat the bait.
-
Molluscicidal action follows: Exposure disrupts the pest’s normal functioning and can lead to death.
This is a pesticide, not a feed, fertiliser or pet-safe repellent. A claim that it targets molluscs does not mean other animals cannot be harmed.

PI’s website introduction gives potato, sweet potato and carrot as vegetable examples, and also mentions grapevines. Grapevines are not a separate recommendation-table entry, so confirm any such use on the current pack. Storage-cellar, greenhouse and mushroom-bed mentions in the website are not treated as independent approved programmes here.
Dosage & Application Guide
The numerical programme is withheld pending verification of the complete current supplied-pack directions. The previously recorded broadcast and website spot-placement quantities are not interchangeable, and the original government-hosted label has not been freshly reverified for this review.
Complete Programme Verification
Confirm crop, pest activity, treated area, bait quantity and placement, harvest requirements and human and animal access safeguards together on the supplied pack. No isolated harvest or re-entry value is supplied here, and no immediate-harvest or zero-residue assurance is implied.
PI describes local bait placement near crawling paths, plant bases and between rows in affected areas. Ask PI or a qualified local adviser to reconcile the complete supplied-pack placement programme and treated area before use; do not add spot-placement and broadcast programmes together.
Do not dissolve the pellets or improvise a spray, tank dose or repeat schedule. Confirm human re-entry separately from animal access: remaining bait can continue to threaten pets and livestock.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Scout first: Confirm snails or slugs and the labelled crop before treatment.
-
Use the bait route: Place measured pellets near crawling paths, plant bases or between rows under the current pack instructions.
-
Choose suitable conditions: Prefer evening application; avoid high winds and forecast heavy rain.
-
Restrict access: Keep children and animals away from bait and treated areas. Retain the previously documented precautions against active bee foraging and aquaculture, and confirm all environmental restrictions on the supplied pack.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Snailkill a spray product?
No. This record is for ready-to-use metaldehyde dry pellets, not a spray or dust application.
Is it safe for dogs and other pets?
No pet-safety assurance should be assumed. Metaldehyde bait can be fatal if eaten. Prevent access and seek urgent veterinary help after suspected ingestion.
Why is no acre dose published here?
The previously recorded broadcast programme and current website spot-placement guidance require reconciliation against the complete supplied-pack directions. Do not substitute retailer claims or assume one pack treats one acre.
When can people or animals return?
Confirm the human re-entry requirement on the supplied pack. Remaining bait can still threaten animals; human access does not establish that pets or livestock may safely enter.
Does a missing harvest interval remove other restrictions?
No. Confirm the complete harvest directions; crop approval, bait placement, personal protection, environmental precautions and access controls still apply.
Safety & Disclaimer
Read the supplied label and leaflet before use. Use only for their stated crop, target, dose and method. The current PI page identifies a blue triangle, Moderately toxic, with the cautionary word Danger. Wear the label-required protective equipment, including gloves; avoid skin, eye and inhalation exposure. Do not eat, drink or smoke during handling.
Metaldehyde bait can poison pets and livestock. Keep children and animals away from the pack, spilled pellets and treated areas. The previously documented leaflet precautions include fish and bee hazards; avoid aquaculture and active bee foraging. Store locked in a cool, dry, ventilated place, away from heat, food and feed; avoid prolonged storage. Never reuse the container.
Before you use it: Confirm the crop-specific timing, bait placement, harvest and access requirements and local restrictions on the supplied pack. This guide does not replace the current label. In suspected poisoning, seek urgent medical help and show the container; do not attempt home remedies.
