Seventeen volatile oils were evaluated for their biotoxicity to golden snails in the concentration range of 1-100 ppm. Oils of sassafras, star anize and oregano showed 100% snail mortality at 10 and 20 ppm against young snails with opeculum diameter, respectively. Oils of lagundi, bitter almond and fennel were observed to be non-toxic to snails at 100 ppm. Isolation of the active constituents of these biologically active oils can be a new source of a molluscicide for golden snail control in the Philippines
