TIL there are land planaria, what a pain that must be: “kill them with salt, vinegar, or neem oil, then dispose of them in a sealed container…avoiding any method that involves cutting the worms, as these segmented creatures can regenerate into two separate worms if split in two.”

- aitchnyu 2y agoWonder if No Planaria for aquariums work on them. It has areca nut (mild and acceptable drug in Asia) extract to disrupt processes in planaria, hydra and snails and paralyse them till death.
- goku12 2y agoThat's an interesting piece of information! We have a huge snail and hammerhead worm infestation here. We also have lots of areca nuts (though people have stopped consuming it). But I haven't heard of anyone using it for this purpose. I wonder if its extract from boiling or grinding works.
