The paper is the first contribution to the knowledge of cochlear pest in Serbia. In July - August a mass mortality in the initial stock of Burgundy snail on a farm near Backa Topola (Serbia) was recorded. Mass increase of predator insects fed on snails was found. A pest species Silpha laevigata Fabricius was identified. Starting period, the amount of damage, and basis for short period forecast of outburst were carried out. Finally pest control measures were undertaken: treatment by insecticide based on lambdacihalotrin that is ecologically acceptable in production of edible snails.
