Re: [GSAS-Member] Snailacide



I have heard of people using a dilute bleach solution for plants to kill snails/eggs (the of course rinsing well), but I have no idea the dosage and if some plants just don't tolerate it.

Maybe someone else does.

I am planning on moving all my shrimp and fish into a new home, but don't want 
to bring the snails along with the plants. Is there some kind of treatment that 
will kill the snails and their eggs? I will do the plants separate from the 
shrimp of course, but hope that the foliage won't absorb the copper or whatever 
else chemicals and kill the shrimp. I have potassium permanganate, but I don't 
know how affective it is. My target is ramshorns and a flat native snail that 
rode in on some hornwort.
