Metaldehyde
Pesticide
Metaldehyde is a pesticide with a primary mechanism of action targeting the nervous system of mollusks, specifically slugs and snails. It acts as a neurotoxin, leading to paralysis and subsequent mortality in these pests. Metaldehyde is widely employed in agriculture and horticulture to manage mollusk populations, thereby protecting crops and garden plants from damage.
