JustOzito: What I'm more concerned about is the smoke that may affect them. It may not happen all at once, but in the long run, you would see the effect. |

@ all, I received some email asking me about how to guide against soldier ants on a snail farm. Here is my guide for you. Get large quantity of used engine oil mixed with diesel fuel. Dig a small trench about 12 inch deep 12 inches wide round the whole enclosure you use as farm. It must be away from your perimeter for about 2 feet (24 inches, or 60 cm). Pour the used engine oil mixed with diesel in the trench in good quantity round the farm perimeter. the oil must be enough not to dry up in the trench at any time. So you can do the pouring from time to time. When soldier ants approach, and they perceive the odour of the oil they will go back/away quickly. |

Are you aware that calcium is very important in the feed you give your snails? So where can you get calcium? You can get from your local feeds shop. But I will describe a very cheap source of calcium for your snails that I have used. I use pieces of blocks and sand mixed with rubbles obtained from a construction site as my source of calcium. I have noticed that snails always come to construction sites near a bush and any cement building blocks assembled near a bush. I did a quick search online for cement composition and discovered that it is high in calcium. Since then I have been putting the cement mixed with sand obtained from the construction site in my small snail pen and I found out the snails always feed on it. Also you can give the snails pawpaw leaves. it's another good source of calcium. |

I am still in the process of setting up my SNAIL farm, just yesterday i discovered that ants (red rugged ants that is smaller than Soldier ant has surged from the ground. They are enjoying carrots and cocoyam peals i deposited in the farm. How do i treat this farm before i introduce the snails? Should i apply insecticide inside the soil of the farm because they are coming from the soil/ground |
Re: Snail Farming Thread -- Let's Make It Work by midastouch: 4:25pm On Feb 07, 2017 |
kankaroo: The only way to control pests is to control the environment. If you are doing free range, think of maybe digging down to about 40cm round your pen area and doing a small cement flooring of the substrate to about 3cm thickness. then plaster the walls of the hole to about 3cm thickness. Treat the soil that you want to put inside and make sure it is free of ants thoroughly. Put aluminium long span sheet to about 50cm depth (from the surface) around the pen to fit your cement flooring. then pour the treated soil back into your pen. At least now you can say with some level of confidence that ants will find it difficult to enter your pen enclosure. |
