Different binary combination (1:1 ratio) of carbohydrates + amino acids was used as attractant in the bait formulation against Lymnaea acuminata. Bait containing 10mM concentration of carbohydrate + amino acids in 2% agar solution was prepared. Attraction of snails to different combinations was studied by using clear glass aquaria having diameter of 30cm. Each aquarium was divided into four concentric zones-Zone-3 (Central Zone), Zone 2 and 1 (middle Zone) and Zone -0 (outer Zone) had a diameter of 13, 18, 24 and 30cm, respectively. The fraction of snails that was in contact with the bait at different times was used as a measure of attraction. Among all the binary combinations Starch + Serine (48.36%) emerged as the strongest attractant, after 2h. The second most attractant is combination of Sucrose + Serine (46.34%).
