A disposable snail trap apparatus for removing snails from gardens includes a trap body. The trap body comprises a cylindrical sidewall having an open bottom edge and a hemispherical roof defining a trap inside. The sidewall has a plurality of door slots extending through to the trap inside. Each door slot extends from the bottom edge towards the roof. An interior surface of the trap body is textured. A plurality of overhangs is coupled to the trap body. The plurality of overhangs is coupled to the sidewall above the plurality of door slots to cast shadows and draw snails into the trap. The snails then climb the interior surface of the trap body and the apparatus may be removed and disposed.

Embodiments of the inventive concept provide a portable organic entity termination applicator unit. The applicator unit can be hip-worn using a shoulder strap or can otherwise be a battery-powered portable cart. The applicator unit can include an organic herbicide reservoir or can otherwise be an herbicideless applicator unit. The applicator unit can include an outer housing, a cold water supply line, an organic herbicide reservoir to hold organic herbicide, an herbicide adjustment valve for controlling a liquid mixture, a heater core to pre-heat the herbicide water liquid mixture, a flexible insulated heated liquid supply line coupled to the heater core to receive the pre-heated herbicide water liquid mixture, and a rigid hand-holdable wand coupled to the flexible insulated heated liquid supply line and configure to flash-heat the pre-heated liquid mixture prior to ejection.

Embodiments provide an applicator configured to pressurize and heat a mixture of water and herbicide, and expel the heated and pressurized water/herbicide mixture from the applicator. In some embodiments, the herbicide may be an organic herbicide such as organic acids, simple sugars, surfactants, or ammonia. The applicator may include an inline heating element coupled with a spray tip of the applicator such that the inline heating element may receive a water/herbicide mixture from a water line of the applicator, heat the water/herbicide mixture, and then supply the water/herbicide mixture to the spray tip.
