| Post subject: | Killing snails with iron |
Hi all, I have small (2-5mm long) snails in my growbeds. They are eating mostly dead matter (decaying leaves) but unfortunately also germinating seeds, which is a big problem... I've heard about people here and there, controlling snails with iron compounds. Anyone know a precise procedure and dosage to do that in aquaponics ? Iron phosphate ? Chelated iron ? Is it possible to do a solution of one of these and soak the growbed with it for a total elimination of snails ? Thanks ! |

Most people simply use the Iron based snail pellets. Not sure for your area - but no doubt available in some commercial bait form. https://www.eradicatesnails.com.au/product.html https://www.lowes.com/pd/Monterey-2-5-l ... er/3083435 |
