Abstract
A chemical barrier effective to irritate and repel molluscs contains an active ingredient formed of fatty acid salts of monocarboxylic acids having chain lengths ranging from 8 to 14 carbon atoms, coconut fatty acid, palm kernel fatty acid, and mixtures thereof. The barrier may be in the form of a solid or a gel-like material that is able to harden to a solid. A solid barrier may also be formed by providing a solid substrate coated with the active ingredient barrier composition.
