Molluscicides are used to control which pests?

Explanation:
Molluscicides are designed to control molluscs, such as slugs and snails, which are common garden pests that feed on leaves and soft plant tissue. These products are formulated to kill these creatures, either by ingestion or contact, reducing their populations. They are not meant for insects (which are targeted by insecticides) or nematodes (targeted by nematicides), and they are not simply deterrents that only keep pests away without killing them. So the option describing killing slugs and snails best captures what molluscicides are used to do.
