Baits

Description

Baits are an effective means of control.

RIFA: 80-90% control was achieved with baits, the remainder is eliminated with mound drench treatments (28). Baits are most effective in spring and summer (10).

LBAM: Attraction pheromone and permethrin were effective (88), but more research is needed (2000).

EGBS: Baits are used to deliver chemical control, but the likelihood of a snail finding the bait is a matter of chance (11)

Applicable Pests

Light brown apple moth (LBAM)
Red imported fire ant (RIFA)
European brown garden snail (EBGS)
