Metaldehyde (Cat.No:I000373) is an organic compound commonly used as a molluscicide and pesticide. It is primarily used to control slugs and snails in agricultural and horticultural settings. Metaldehyde is formulated as pellets or granules and is typically applied to the soil or spread on the ground to deter and kill these pests. It acts by disrupting the nervous system of mollusks, causing paralysis and ultimately leading to their death. Care should be taken when handling and using metaldehyde due to its toxicity to humans and animals.
