Pests due to terrestrial mollusks cause serious damage, both economic and ecological, in various types of agricultural plantations. In this paper we develop a low cost capacitive sensor that wirelessly communicates with the base, to monitor the activity of land snails. Once implemented physically, it has been tested in a controlled miniplot with favorable results.
