Home and Garden: How to apply: Scatter the slug and snail bait granules on the soil around or near the plants to be protected. For broadcast application, use standard broadcast spreaders. For row application, use 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 two weeks. Do not place in piles. If the ground is dry, wet it before applying bait. The product works best when soil is moist but with little or no standing water. Reapply as the bait is consumed or at least every two weeks. Apply more heavily if the infestation is severe, if the area is heavily watered or after long periods of heavy rain. See specific directions for different plant types. When to apply: Apply the bait during the evening, as slugs and snails travel and feed mostly by night or early morning. Where to Apply: Treat all likely areas of infestation, especially around the perimeter of garden plots because these pests travel into plant areas from daytime refuges.

Vegetables: Use the bait to protect any vegetables from slug and snail damage, including (but not limited to): artichokes, asparagus, beans, beets, black-eyed peas, broccoli. Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cantaloupe, carrots, cauliflower, com, cucumbers, eggplant, garlic, lettuce, onions, peas, peppers, potatoes, radishes, rutabagas, spinach, squash, Swiss chard, tomatoes and turnips. Scatter the bait around the perimeter of the vegetable plot at the rate of 0.5-1 lb. per 1000 square feet, or for smaller areas, 0.15 oz., or 1 level teaspoon per square yard, to provide a protective barrier for slugs and snails entering the garden plot. If slugs or snails are inside the rows, then scatter the bait on the soil around the base of the plants and between the rows.
