You need to correct tickets for any slug pellet application, not just for you but your machine as well. Both metaldehyde and ferric phosphate are pesticides and therefore fall under the pesticide laws. Maybe a local distributor will apply them for you?

Do have a look at the cultural controls, such as rolling. You may not need to treat, best to trap to assess populations.
