The method in­ cludes the steps of: selecting an amount of a for­ mulation (solid or liquid) comprising saponin; a and distributing this formulation in the environ­ ment having an infestation of mollusks. When the environment is land, the steps of the method may include distributing the formulation on the land, flooding the land, for example by irrigation or seasonal rains, to release the saponin that dis­ perses in the water to thereby cause a concentra­ tion of saponin in the water for a time effective to remediate mollusks. When the environment is water, the formulation may be distributed into the water to cause a saponin concentration for an effective time to remediate mollusks.
