(Beyond Pesticides<\/em>, August 25, 2021) Scientists at Oregon State University have found a highly effective bait for slugs and snails: bread dough. Although not quite as exciting as the slug-liquefying nematodes<\/a> the OSU research team published data on last year, bread dough has the potential to revamp mollusk management, particularly in developing countries where resources are limited. \u201cBread dough is a nontoxic, generic, and effective tool that could be used in the detection and management of gastropods worldwide,\u201d said study lead author Rory Mc Donnell, PhD. \u201cIt represents a tool to aid in managing pest gastropod infestations, either using baited traps or in attract-and-kill approaches. It could also be incorporated into existing baits to improve their attractiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Critically, bread dough was found to be a more effective bait than commercial attractants like the product Deadline\u00ae M-Ps™, which contains the hazardous compound metaldehyde.<\/a> To test effectiveness, researchers began by making the bread dough using a combination of flour, water and yeast. In a lab setting, slugs were starved for 24 hrs, and then given the option of either bread dough or water (water was used as a control to test if the slugs were simply attracted to humidity). Researchers determined through this trial that slugs were most attracted to bread dough aged between 2 and 8 days.<\/p>\n

A similar setup compared the attractiveness of bread dough against Deadline\u00ae M-Ps™ using the common garden snail C. aspersum<\/em>. Of 20 slugs tested, 14 went for the dough, three went for the commercial bait, while three were unresponsive. Field trials were then established to determine real world efficacy. The traps employed, including the Snailer, <\/a>which allows entry but bars exist, as well as a simple Petri dish, were loaded with bread dough, and a liquid form of metaldehyde was added to the bottom. A control using water and liquid metaldehyde was also used. Slugs and snails overwhelmingly chose to feed on the bread dough baited traps. At one site, on mining reclamation land infested with the land snail X. obvia<\/em>, researchers were able to trap over 18,000 over the course of two days. Only roughly 850 snails were collected in control bait.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe gave them a choice of food and they consistently went for the bread dough,\u201d Dr. Mc Donnell said. \u201cThey really, really like it. They went bonkers for it. Bread dough outperformed everything.\u201d Although researchers used toxic metaldehyde to kill slugs when they got to the bait, discretely located traps can ensure that a pesticide is not used in a broadcast manner and disposed of properly. However, many traps and baits, such as the Snailer, will work with bread dough and water without the need for additional pesticide, as they bar pests from exiting and cause the slug or snail to drown. Use of metaldehyde should generally be discouraged as the chemical is a suggestive carcinogen, with evidence of neurotoxicity, kidney and liver damage, and reproductive harm. Although the National Organic Program permits the use of the iron phosphate in slug and snail control, its efficacy relies on a synergy between iron phosphate and a so-called \u201cinert\u201d ingredient known as EDTA. In 2014, Beyond Pesticides called on the National Organic Standards Board to delist iron phosphate slug products due to the risks EDTA poses to soil organisms, as well its ability to contaminant soil, sediment and local waterways.<\/p>\n

Beyond these concerns lies the fact that current data shows that common commercial slug-control products only kill between 10% to 60% of slugs in a given population. Efficacious biological controls are on the horizon<\/a>, and have long been registered in Europe, but their cost is often quite high as to be prohibitive for many farmers. Bread dough thus provides a near universally available bait for farmers and gardeners around the globe. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWith worldwide trade and travel, we are getting a homogenization of slugs and snails on planet Earth because of the widespread introduction of species,\u201d Dr. Mc Donnell said. \u201cThis is not just a modern phenomenon. Slugs and snails have been traveling with humans for thousands of years. But it\u2019s getting more severe because of purposeful introductions, global trade, intensification of agriculture and development of new crops.\u201d<\/p>\n

Managing slugs can be frustrating and often stomach churning. Cultural practices can help get a handle on slug populations, but some form of direct control is often needed. If slugs are suspected of causing crop damage, populations should be regularly monitored using a baiting system. Work to reduce moisture and consider the type of mulch that is being applied. Never water at night, and consider tactics like drip irrigation in particularly damp, slug-prone areas. Hand-picking slugs out of the garden with a disposable glove and placing them into soapy water is one of those stomach-churning activities associated with a slug infestation, but an effective way to reduce populations in a garden. Domestic foul can be helpful at lowering slug populations but need to be closely monitored around growing crops.<\/p>\n

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29755","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29755"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29755\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29765,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29755\/revisions\/29765"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29756"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
