Definitions

  • Terrestrial mollusks such as slugs and snails, are herbivores capable of extensively damaging plants, including flowers, vegetables, and some trees and shrubs.
  • existing baits designed to exterminate them often have significant limitations.
  • the baits do not always perform well in the natural environments of mollusks, which is often permanently moist or frequently wet.
  • Existing baits also sometimes lose their physical integrity under such circumstances or lose their efficacy upon prolonged exposure to moisture, sunlight, or both.
  • slugs and snails live in environments where damaging insects are also present. Although control of these insects is desirable, it is often preferable to exterminate the insects without use of a contact pesticide that will indiscriminately kill non-targeted insects, or that will function only for a short period of time after application. Desirably, a method of controlling slugs and snails could also be used to control insect pest populations.
  • a further challenge is that some slug and snail baits presently in use are not properly formulated for consumption by mollusks, either because they do not have a proper attractant in appropriate concentration, or because they are not physically formed in a manner that promotes consumption by mollusks, and especially not consumption by both mollusks and insects.
  • Any such formulation should desirably also be well suited toward use in moist environments without excessive loss of physical integrity or efficacy as a pest control material.
  • the composition should be formulated such that it is highly attractive to both mollusks and insects.
  • the present invention is directed to a physical and chemical formulation designed to be attractive to, and eaten by, terrestrial mollusks, specifically slugs and snails. Optionally it is also attractive to and consumed by insect pests. Upon being eaten, and after a set delay, the invention is designed to kill such pests.
  • the physical and chemical formulation of the pest control composition of the invention includes a bait with broad spectrum performance against insect pests, many general arthropod pests, and also snails and slugs.
  • the formulation provides excellent weathering capabilities and lasting protection with repeated applications.
  • the chemical and physical formulation of the invention shows, in certain implementations, resistance to ultraviolet light, resistance to water, and resistance to oxidation and hydrolysis, while being highly effective against slugs and snails.
  • the invention is directed to a pest control composition active against arthropods (including insects) and terrestrial mollusks, the composition comprising a borate-containing agent toxic to both insects and mollusks, but substantially non-repellant to both insects and mollusks.
  • the composition also typically includes a carrier matrix.
  • the carrier matrix serves to bind the borate-containing agent together, with other materials included in the composition, such as carbohydrates (including sugars), proteins, or fats (or whole food materials containing these components—e.g. cereals, dried vegetables or fruits or nuts) used as attractants.
  • the borate active ingredient comprises, for example, boric acid.
  • the boric acid optionally comprises from 0.1 to 10 percent of the pest control composition based upon total dry weight of the composition.
  • the amount of boric acid can be less than 20 percent in some embodiments, and less than 10 percent in certain embodiments, based upon total dry weight of the pest control composition.
  • the borate active ingredient, such as boric acid comprises at least 1 percent of the pest control composition, based upon total dry weight of the pest control composition.
  • the active ingredient of the pest control formulation is typically blended with a carrier matrix containing an organic material, such as corncobs or nut husks or vegetable derived meal.
  • the carrier matrix comprises an organic material having food value to terrestrial mollusks.
  • Suitable organic material having food value to terrestrial mollusks includes oils, sugars, fruit extracts, vegetable extracts, proteins and combinations thereof.
  • a specific acceptable example formulation contains at least about 50 percent of an organic carrier and more desirably at least about 60 to 90 percent organic carrier; at least about 5 percent oil and more desirably from about 10 to 20 percent oil; at least about 5 percent carbohydrate, such as a sugar, often about 5 to 20 percent sugar; and at least about 2 percent but desirably less than about 15 percent of a borate-containing composition.
  • the borate-containing composition is preferably boric acid or borax.
  • a specific example of a formulation that can be used within the scope of the invention contains approximately 70 percent corncob matter; approximately 15 percent corn oil; approximately 10 percent sugar; and approximately 5 percent boric acid, wherein all percentages are based upon dry weight of the pest control composition.
  • the unique formulation made in accordance with the invention is generally durable under environmental conditions in which terrestrial mollusks thrive, including moist environments.
  • the pest control composition desirably retains its physical integrity after being exposed to the weather (precipitation, UV light, heat, air oxidation and hydrolysis and leaching) for 1 week or more.
  • the pest control composition substantially retains its efficacy after being exposed to the weather (precipitation, UV light, air oxidation and hydrolysis and leaching) for an extended period of time, such as one month under many circumstances.
  • the pest control composition remains effective under normal outdoor weather conditions in temperate climates for a period of one month or more. Such climates include, for example, one in which approximately four inches of accumulated rain fall during that period and the temperature remains between about 40 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • FIG. 1 is a chart showing the efficacy of compositions made in accordance with the invention at exterminating terrestrial mollusks.
  • FIG. 2 is a second chart showing the efficacy of compositions made in accordance with the invention at exterminating terrestrial mollusks.

  • FIG. 5 is a second chart showing the weather resistance of compositions made in accordance with the invention.
  • the present invention is directed to a physical and chemical formulation designed to be attractive to, and eaten by, terrestrial mollusks, specifically slugs and snails.
  • the formulation is also attractive to and toxic to insects.
  • the pest control formulation of the present invention typically includes a granular bait with broad spectrum performance against snails and slugs, as well as general insect pests.
  • the formulation also provides excellent weathering capabilities, making it well suited to use in moist environments and locations where it will be exposed to the environment. Such weathering properties are very desirable, if not essential, because the habitat in which snails and slugs are most commonly located are relatively wet and have high humidity.

  • the first formulation contained a control with only food attractants, while the second composition contained 1 percent FePO 4 , and the third composition contained five percent H 3 BO 3 .
  • Weatherized granular bait made in accordance with the invention was tested in exposed exterior situations for a period of one month to determine its ability to withstand weathering conditions typical of the environment of snails and slugs.
  • the active ingredient concentration in the bait was determined and plotted against the recorded amount of rainfall over the exposed period as well as exposure over time.
  • the granular bait used in this weathering test contained about 5% boric acid as the active ingredient and a combination of both lipid and carbohydrate attractants.
  • the objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of this process and the longevity of product performance by determining the rate of active ingredient loss due to exterior exposure.
  • Three open stations, each containing 100-grams of the granular bait product and a perforated base were placed outside in 3 different open locations. A sample was taken from each station at regular intervals and the total rainfall was recorded using a rain gauge. This continued for about 1 month and until a total of >6 inches of rain had passed though the granular bait.
  • boric acid in the granular bait is slowly lost with increasing amounts of rainfall. From referring to various efficacy studies with a variety of insects, boric acid is known to be effective below 0.5% retention. Light rainfall that does not soak right through the sample did not appear to significantly affect the boric acid content of the bait, and this is probably the case as the sample simply gets wet and then dries out again. However, a heavy downpour of at least 2 inches significantly reduces the boric acid content. This probably occurs as free running water passes through the bait, both solubilizing and removing the boric acid.
