Y1 - 2012 N1 - T2 - Poisoning & Drug Overdose, 6e AB - Metaldehyde is used widely in the United States as a snail and slug poison. In Europe and Japan, it is also used as a solid fuel (up to 100% metaldehyde) for small heaters. In Japan, tablets containing up to 90% metaldehyde are used for producing colored flames for entertaining. The pellets often are mistaken for cereal or candy. Common commercial products containing metaldehyde (2–4%) include Cory's Slug and Snail Death, Deadline for Slugs and Snails, and Bug Geta Snail and Slug Pellets.
