CA 2569813

Novel materials for controlling molluscs, such as snails and slugs, using carbohydrates including celluloses, hemi-cellulose complexes, and/or lignin, for inducing death in molluscs. The materials are non-toxic, will not contaminate a drinking water supply, will not harm fish, birds or wild life, will not cause any harmful effects if swallowed or absorbed through the skin, will not harm children or pets, and can be safely eaten by domestic animals and livestock that may consume such dead molluscs. The materials may be applied in various formulations at various water contents. The materials do not provide nutrition to the molluscs, and disrupt normal bodily functions resulting in death. An attractant may be included to encourage ingestion by the molluscs.

Nouvelles substances servant à lutter contre des mollusques, tels que des escargots et des limaces, utilisant des carbohydrates dont des celluloses, des complexes d'hémicellulose et/ou de la lignine, pour induire la mort des mollusques. Les substances ne sont pas toxiques, ne contamineront pas une source d'eau potable, ne nuiront pas aux poissons, aux oiseaux ou à la faune sauvage, ne provoqueront aucun effet nocif si elles sont avalées ou absorbées par la peau, ne nuiront pas aux enfants ou aux animaux domestiques et peuvent être mangées sans danger par des animaux domestiques et du bétail qui pourraient consommer de tels mollusques morts. On peut appliquer les substances sous forme de différentes formulations ayant différentes teneurs en eau. Les substances ne constituent pas une substance nutritive pour les mollusques et perturbent des fonctions corporelles normales entraînant ainsi la mort. On peut inclure un agent attractif pour encourager l'ingestion par les mollusques.
