Usage method Metarol 5% GR is applied by scattering granules on the soil surface around plants or in areas of snail and slug activity. It is preferable to apply in the evening, as snails and slugs are more active in humid and cool times, especially after watering or rain. Granules can be sprinkled manually for small areas or with suitable scattering tools for larger areas. Granules should be evenly distributed and not applied in excessive amounts in one spot unless the label permits. Avoid placing granules directly on leaves, fruits, or edible parts. Usage rate Based on available data, Metarol is used at approximately: 2 grams per square meter in normal infestation cases. Approximately 120 granules per square meter when there is a clear infestation. In small spaces, granules are sprinkled around plants and on the soil surface in snail activity areas. For sensitive or rare plants, the rate can be adjusted according to label instructions and expert advice. Do not increase the amount arbitrarily, as overuse of baits does not necessarily lead to better results and may increase risks of unintended exposure to children, animals, or non-target organisms. Important precautions Read the entire label before use. Do not mix the product with any other chemicals. Keep away from children, pets, and birds. Avoid scattering granules on leaves, fruits, or parts that are directly edible. Do not use near water sources or drains. It is preferable to place it in the evening on moist soil after watering, not during severe drought. Do not place granules inside food containers or in places accessible to animals. Wear gloves during scattering, and wash hands thoroughly afterward. Store in a cool, dry place, away from food, feed, and children. Do not reuse the empty packaging for other purposes. Why do you need a granular bait for snails and slugs? Snails and slugs are not like flying or sap-sucking insects; they are mollusks that move mostly at night or in humid weather, hiding during the day under leaves, pots, plant debris, or shaded areas. Therefore, farmers may not notice them until holes appear in leaves or seedlings are damaged. The granular bait like Metarol helps target snails and slugs in their activity areas on the soil surface, especially when applied at the right time. However, it is recommended to combine bait use with reducing excess humidity, removing plant debris, cleaning snail hiding places, and continuously monitoring the garden or protected house.
