Abstract
The invention relates to bait formulations comprising at least one iron salt, at least one component selected from among methyl glycine-N,N-diacetic acid, glutamine-N,N-diacetic acid, and the alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and ammonium salts thereof; and at least one starch-containing component. The invention also relates to the use of said bait formulation for controlling terrestrial slugs and snails and to a method for controlling terrestrial slugs and snails using the bait formulation of the invention.
Claims14
A bait formulation in solid form comprising:
- a) 0.01 to 5% by weight, based on the total weight of the bait formulation, of at least one iron salt, wherein the iron salt is iron(III) phosphate;
- b) 0.01 to 5% by weight, based on the total weight of the bait formulation, of a compound selected from the group consisting of methylglycine-N,N-diacetic acid, an alkali metal salt thereof, an alkaline earth metal salt thereof, an ammonium salt thereof, and mixtures thereof;
- c) 60 to 99.89% by weight, based on the total weight of the bait formulation, of at least one starch-containing compound;
- and
- d) 0.01 to 0.19% by weight, calculated as the free acid and based on the total weight of the bait formulation, of a compound selected from the group consisting of ethylene-1,2-diamino-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid, a salt thereof and a mixture thereof.

A bait formulation in solid form comprising:
- a) 0.1 to 0.9% by weight, based on the total weight of the bait formulation, of iron in the form of the at least one iron salt, wherein the iron salt is iron (III) phosphate;
- b) 0.2 to 1.8% by weight, based on the total weight of the bait formulation, of a compound selected from the group consisting of methylglycine-N,N-diacetic acid, an alkali metal salt thereof, an alkaline earth metal salt thereof, an ammonium salt thereof, and mixtures thereof;
- c) 75 to 99.7% by weight, based on the total weight of the bait formulation, of at least one starch-containing component;
- and
- d) 0.01 to 0.19% by weight, calculated as the free acid and based on the total with of the bait formulation, of a compound selected from the group consisting of ethylene-1,2-diamino-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid, a salt thereof and a mixture thereof.
