Bonide Slug Magic Pellets - Manual (Page 4)

Treat all likely areas of infestation, especially
around the perimeter of garden plots because
these pests travel into plant areas from 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.
WHERE TO APPLY
OUTDOOR ORNAMENTALS
Scatter bait in a 6 inch circular band
around the base of the plants to
be protected at 0.15 oz., or 1 level
teaspoon, per square yard. If plants are next
to a grassy area, spread the bait between the
ornamentals and the grass. Slugs and snails
traveling to the plants will encounter the bait
before reaching the plant. In these situations,
scatter the bait around the perimeter of the plot at
the rate of 1 lb. per 1,000 square feet to intercept
snails and slugs traveling to the plot.
