Molluscicides , also known as snail baits and snail pellets, are pesticides against molluscs, which are usually used in agriculture or gardening, in order to control gastropod pests specifically slugs and snails which damage crops or other valued plants by feeding on them. A number of chemicals can be employed as a molluscicide: * Metal salts such as iron(III) phosphate and aluminium sulfate, relatively non-toxic, also used in organic gardening * Metaldehyde * Methiocarb * Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, highly toxic to other animals and humans, acts also as a contact poison == Accidental poisonings == (詳細はhigher animals. However, metaldehyde-based and especially acetylcholinesterase inhibitor-based products are highly toxic, and have resulted in many deaths of pets and humans. Some products contain a bittering agent that reduces but does not eliminate the risk of accidental poisoning. Anticholinergic drugs such as atropine can be used as an antidote for acetylcholinesterase inhibitor poisoning. There is no antidote for metaldehyde, the treatment is symptomatic. Methiocarb can cause acute toxicity to people exposed to it for long periods of time and will also poison water organisms.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://pesticideinfo.org/Detail_Chemical.jsp?Rec_Id=PC35108 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Molluscicide」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
