Arsenate of Lead Kills Cherry Slug
A Colorado agricultural notice advises protecting cherry trees from slug damage. When fruit is tiny, spray arsenate of lead at one pound paste per 30 gallons water. After cherries are half grown, use white hellebore or Black Leaf 40 to cover leaf surfaces. Hellebore kills slugs for days, Black Leaf 40 kills only contact slugs, and late spraying avoids fruit contamination. For few trees, dust foliage with air slaked lime or road dust in heat of day.
