DE3235586A1 - Snail fence for keeping out and at the same time destroying snails - Google Patents

Abstract

The snail fence constitutes, as a means for fencing in gardens or flower or vegetable beds, a protection for the plants situated therein against snail infestation. The snail fence, which can be assembled from individual elements and is produced from weatherproof materials, provides a combination of defence measures when placed into the soil, since it serves both as an obstacle to the snail and, if it is surmounted, leads to the destruction of the snail. This is achieved by means of a peripheral shell which is integrated in the fence and contains as snail poison de-icing salt which leads to the slime congestion of the snail and thus to its destruction. De-icing salt does not exude a luring odour like customary snail poisons, so that snails are not additionally attracted. The integrated rain cover protects the snail poison against environmental influences and additionally prevents the congested snail from surmounting it, the snail dropping off the inner rounding.

Before installing the fence, however, the ones in the ground must be installed Slugs are removed. This is achieved by dousing the soil with hot water (50-60 C °) that the snails drives out. After they have been removed, the snail fence can be installed. All weatherproof ones are used for production Materials like. Plastic / concrete / earthenware / brick clay etc.

The advantages achieved with the invention are that this system contains a combination of control measures. £ Obstacle and destruction when overcoming / elimination of bait.) The snail is not additionally attracted by attractants lured.

Figure 1 shows the basic structure of the snail's tail. (1) provides a single element with a surrounding shell (4) for receiving the snail poison (road salt) is / which is connected to the corner elements (3) by a groove (6) and tongue (5). (3) is a complete corner element in which the rain canopy and the surrounding shell are integrated. On the individual elements (1) the rain canopy (2) is put on again by means of a tongue and groove connection.

The snail fence should be 15 to 20 cm into the ground for installation be plugged.
