Bonide Slug Magic Pellets - Manual (Page 5)

VEGETABLES
FRUITS INCLUDING CITRUS
Use the bait to protect any vegetables from
slug and snail damage, including (but not
limited to): artichokes, asparagus, beans,
beets, blackeyed peas, broccoli, Brussels
sprouts, cabbage, cantaloupe, carrots,
cauliflower, corn, cucumbers, eggplants,
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 1,000 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.
Use the bait to protect fruits from
slugs and snails, including (but
not limited to): apples, avocados,
apricots, cherries, grapes, melons, peaches,
plums, citrus, and pears. For seedlings spread the
bait around the base of the stem. Apply at 0.15 oz.,
or 1 level teaspoon, per square yard, in a 6 inch
circular band around the base of the plants to be
protected. For older trees, spread the bait around
the base of the tree to intercept slugs and snails
traveling to the trunk. Apply the bait at the rate of
0.5 - 1 lb. per 1,000 square feet for orchards using
standard fertilizer granular spreaders.
