Description

[0001] Technical field: The invention belongs to the technical field of garden tools, in particular for controlling snails in garden care.

[0002] State of the art: Current methods for snail control include mechanical, chemical, and biological approaches. Mechanical solutions, such as manual snail catchers or special tools, often require considerable effort and are not always effective. Furthermore, these solutions often lack safety precautions, especially with regard to children.

[0003] Shortcomings of the previous versions: The common mechanical devices for snail control often do not offer sufficient safety and cannot guarantee hygienic disposal of the snails. Furthermore, many of these tools are unwieldy and difficult to use, especially in larger garden areas.

[0004] Technical problem: The technical problem posed by the applicant is to develop an effective, safe and hygienic tool for snail control that is easy for adults to operate, clean and use without putting strain on their backs.

[0005] Solution to the problem: The invention, the snail repeller, solves this problem through an innovative design that combines the functionality of a cutting tool with safety and cleaning elements.

[0006] Example: The snail deterrent comprises a top surface with at least three integrated, sharp blades (reference numeral 1), which allow for instant cutting of snails. On the bottom surface, there are four small protrusions that snap into the four holes in the top surface (reference numeral 2), thus ensuring a secure connection between the top and bottom surfaces. The bottom surface is additionally equipped with two protrusions (reference numeral 3) that facilitate cleaning the blades. Furthermore, the snail deterrent can be combined with a handle (reference numeral 4), which improves handling and enables ergonomic use.

[0007] Advantages of the invention: The combination of safety mechanisms, easy handling, and hygienic cleaning makes the snail repeller an effective all-in-one tool for snail control. Garden owners benefit from a time-saving, safe, and efficient solution for snail control without the use of chemicals or poisons, which is environmentally friendly.
