The composition of claim 1, further comprising a pH-adjusting agent. 15. The composition of claim 14, wherein the pH-adjusting agent is selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium hydroxide, ascorbic acid, tartaric acid, and citric acid. 16. The composition of claim 14, wherein the pH-adjusting agent results in the composition having a pH in the range of about 5 to 9 when measured as a dough prior to drying. 17. The composition of claim 1, wherein the at least one molluscicide is present at a concentration in the range of about 0.1 to 10 %. 18. The composition of claim 1, wherein the at least one spinosyn is present at a concentration in the range of about 1 ppm to 2.0 %. 19. The composition of claim 1, wherein the bait carrier is an insect/mollusc food. 20. The composition of claim 19, wherein the insect/mollusc food is selected from the group consisting of agar, potato dextrose agar, sugar beet, gelatin, oil cake, pet food, wheat, wheat flour, soya, oats, corn, rice, fruits, fish by-products, sugars, coated vegetable seeds, coated cereal seeds, casein, whey, blood meal, bone meal, yeast, paper products, natural clays, synthetic clays, talc, magnesium aluminum silicates, kaolinites, calcium carbonate, chalk, fats, cereals, and combinations thereof. 21. A method of exterminating unwanted molluscs and insect pests, comprising: providing a composition having an effective amount of at least one spinosyn, at least one molluscicide, and at least one bait carrier; and administering an effective amount of the composition to an area infested with at least one of a mollusc and insect. 22. The method of claim 21, further comprising allowing the at least one of a mollusc and insect to ingest the composition. 23. A method of preparing an insecticidal and molluscicidal bait, comprising: blending at least one of a molluscicide, a spinosyn, and a carrier together to form a blended composition; adding a solvent to the composition to bind the blended composition; and forming the blended composition into at least one pellet. 24. A method of preparing an insecticidal and molluscicidal bait, comprising: forming a core using at least one carrier; dispersing an amount of at least one of a spinosyn and a molluscicide in an oil to form a coating; and applying the coating to the core, such that at least one of the molluscicide and the spinosyn are bound to a surface of the core. 25. The method of claim 24, wherein the oil is selected from mineral oil, triglyceride oil, and combinations thereof. 26. The method of claim 24, further comprising forming a core from the carrier and at least one molluscicide, and dispersing an amount of a spinosyn in an oil to form a coating to coat a surface of the carrier and molluscicide core. 27. The method of claim 24, further comprising forming a core from the carrier and at least one spinosyn, and dispersing an amount of a molluscicide in an oil to form a coating to coat a surface of the carrier and spinosyn core. 28. A method of preparing an insecticidal and molluscicidal bait, comprising: blending at least one of a molluscicide, a spinosyn, and a carrier together to form a blended composition; adding a wax to the blended composition; and passing the blended composition through a pelletizing mechanism to effect binding of the wax to the composition, thereby forming at least one pellet.
