snail bait

Garden pest killer

Snail bait is a pesticide formulated to kill snails and slugs, typically containing metaldehyde or iron phosphate.

It comes in pellet form scattered around plants: I put snail bait around the hostas.

Metaldehyde-based baits are toxic to pets and wildlife, making them a common cause of accidental poisoning in dogs.
