Scatter the slug and snail bait granules on the soil around or near the plants to be protected.
Evening is the best time to apply the bait, as slugs and snails travel and feed mostly by night or early morning.
As the bait is consumed or at least every 2 weeks
Treat all likely areas of infestation, especially around the perimeter of garden plots because these pests travel into plant areas for daytime refuges. They favor damp places around vegetable plants such as beans, tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, celery and squash. Other favorite areas are flower gardens, rockeries, hedges, dichondra lawns, citrus groves, ivy patches, and other ground cover where they obtain shelter by day.
Do not allow pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters, or surface waters. Broadcast application: Use the standard broadcast spreader Row Application: use the standard granular spreaders. Apply bait evenly at the rate of 0.5-1 lb. per 1,000 square feet, or for smaller areas, 0.15 oz., or 1 level teaspoon, per square yard, and reapply as the bait is consumed or at least every 2 weeks.
