The vineyard flat snail is an important pest of grapes, and traditional control methods are not very effective. Using the PET bottle method to control the flat snail can achieve a 95-100% control effect, and it is made by improving and repurposing discarded PET bottles.
The PET bottle method involves cutting off the bottom and neck of the PET bottle, removing the top and bottom and then slitting the body lengthwise, then slipping the slit PET bottle over the grape trunk. The size of the neck matches the thickness of the grape trunk. For ease of operation, its height can be level with a person's chest. After putting it on, staple the lower end of the PET bottle firmly from the opening. If the bottle mouth is loose, it can be appropriately sealed with adhesive tape or punched with holes and fixed with wire, so as to avoid too large a gap. Because the bottle mouth fits tightly around the trunk, when the flat snails crawl up from the ground along the base of the trunk, they pass through the opening at the bottom of the PET bottle, and when they reach the neck of the PET bottle, they cannot pass through. All the flat snails will accumulate inside the PET bottle in a dormant state. The flat snails are all blocked and cannot crawl up, thus achieving the snail-blocking effect. After a period of exposure to sunlight, the snails will die or fall off one after another, achieving the purpose of control.
Because the PET bottle snail-blocking method is simple to make and convenient to use, not only does it have good results, it reduces control costs, makes use of waste, and can be used for many years. It also takes into account the three issues of residual toxicity, saving control costs, and environmental protection. It is a newly breakthrough control technique and is well worth promoting for use in vineyards.
