In electronics, a choke is an inductor used to block higher-frequency alternating currents (AC) while passing direct current (DC) and lower-frequency ACs in a circuit. A choke usually consists of a coil of insulated wire often wound on a magnetic core, although some consist of a doughnut-shaped ferrite bead strung on a wire.

Molluscicides (/ m ə ˈ l ʌ s k ɪ ˌ s aɪ d s,-ˈ l ʌ s-/) [1] [2] – also known as snail baits, snail pellets, or slug pellets – are pesticides against molluscs, which are usually used in agriculture or gardening, in order to control gastropod pests specifically slugs and snails which damage crops or other valued plants by feeding on them.
All the members of the family Aglajidae are predators; Tubulophilinopsis gardineri is diurnal and probably feeds on polychaete worms and other sea slugs. It can move quite rapidly, and can follow the mucus trail left by a sea slug, detecting it by means of sensory hairs beside its mouth. [3]
