Giant African Snail?

[Chimera]

I think if something eats snails that died from bait...they would die also.

On YouTube there are videos of dogs that ate or inhaled snail bait and died....no cure

Damn no idea it was so toxic. I thought it was more specific to snails ….. or required large amounts to kill anything bigger

[pugboy]

yeah that metal chemical in it is pretty toxic
thiovin too

[streetbeastINC.]

I have observed opossum eating them, which. Is good and bad,
If they eat the snails that have died from poisonous baits....

M.j
Those snails die from such a small amount of bait I wonder if the animals that eat them even affected by the trace amounts. Talking about the pellets and not the deadlier stuff like thiovin

A process called biological magnification, but opossum hardly has predators

Yes snail bait is highly toxic, esp to dogs, cats and birds

[pugboy]

what is the distribution of snails though?
are they close to humans and farming ?
or are they found deep in the bush?
i suspect the former

[streetbeastINC.]

I initially, via my job did an investigation into gas around 6 years ago,
What i saw was unbelievable. Thats all i can say....

[streetbeastINC.]

But i think in some areas opossum is keeping the population down, if persons keep hunting them then the snail pop in these areas will escalate, a study should be done

Opossum hardly have predators? Clearly you have never been to Trinidad.

[pugboy]

things will be exponentially worse
the best we can hope for is that they will be supressed in certain areas based on poison or natural predation
problem is that other areas will be totally decimated but who knows maybe when a place becomes over populated with them, then some kind of natural predation may step in
just dont see humans making a serious overall dent based on poison realistically and safely

in africa the weather keeps them at bay

Manicou eat them, hawks as well, so a means natural population control for GAS is available, at least in some areas.

Wrt to manicou eating poisoned dead snails, I have no idea if that happens or not. But what I will tell you, is that they don't need to. Manicou are actually omnivorous hunters and scavengers. Yes, they are hunters. But they don't scavenge like cobo do, specifically targeting rotting carcasses. They prefer eat a fresh dead carcass, not a rotten one. They will target fruits or a live bird long before they study a to feed at a rotting maggot-riddled carcass.
So a slow moving live snail is easy pickins and a better option for them than a dead rotting one.

But if they were to eat a poisoned snails that haven't died yet? That's what I eh sure about. Who's to know how much of which poison they can handle from secondary consumption? And how long before they totally eliminate that poison from their system?

Watch this nasty lil MC

He get some ammonia followed by a heavy dusting of chlorine granules

[88sins]

I wonder
Anybody here ever made piranha solution? Might be a good way to dispose of them.

[pugboy]

finely ground shells are used for calcium treating soil

[88sins]

Yeah, but who wants to wait for the dead snails to decompose and smell up d place then go thr all d wuk to grind them shells to powder?

[j.o.e]

Did my first treatment of thiovin on the yard last night. Wish me luck

Heard about this on 95.1 this morning.

Apparently there's a local hatchery selling the Guinea fowl for $25 each. Buy a couple and let them loose on your property.
They are edible too, so I mean you can cycle them out into a pot every once in a while

Don't over bull the cow my brother, salt works fine.

They does pull in and die one time.

I aint touching that padnah,,, egg shells work fine as well, and you can use your kitchen mortar/pestle or grinder to do it without having to cleanse it with acid and fire afterwards...

Just wash out the egg shells prior to drying so it wont smell too.....

As a bit of rain fall, back to square one with these pests

This worked on our side:

Salting the ones you see and baiting the ones you don't.
