Нові молюскоциди для боротьби зaThe article presents the results of studying the new and affordable means for freshwater snail control. It was found that mineral fertilizers – ammonium sulfate at a concentration of 0.05–0.20 %, and potassium chloride at a concentration of 0.20–0.30 % cause the death of snails of the genera Lymnaea and Planorbis in 24–72 hours after application. Hydrogen peroxide at a concentration of 1:40000 and potassium permanganate at a concentration of 1:400000 also kill snails within 24–48 hours. Commonly available products also have pronounced molluscicidal action: table salt (NaCl) and baking soda (NaHCO3) at concentrations of 0.30–0.50 %. Changing the pH in the habitat of snails, i.e. water in snail biotopes, towards acidity (3.8–6.2) and alkalinity (8.0–8.4) also result in the death of snails, and the optimal environment is with pH = 7.8. These means are safe for animals and the environment, as evidenced by the results of experiments carried out on sheep, which were administered with molluscicide solutions orally using a probe in an amount of 1.5 liters per animal and by ad libitum drinking for 3 days прісноводними молюсками – проміжними господарями збудників фасціольозу, парамфістоматозу і орієнтобільхарціозу
