Did I use too much snail bait?

Hello, all: I'm a new homeowner and first-time gardener so you'll have to forgive questions that no doubt will seem naive and silly.In any event, I bought some Safer's Slug and Snail Bait because I have snails in my front garden. Which has some assorted annual and perennial plants and flowers in it. The box says that it contains ferric phosphate at .76%.I spread these pellets throughout the garden, but was a bit concerned that I had used too much. It's hard to say in a newsgroup how much is "too much" (like "there are on average 97 pellets per square foot"). For the sake of argument, let's say I did use too much. Will these pellets hurt my plants?I'm not excited about the idea of going out there with a teaspoon and fishing most of the pellets out.Many thanks for any information!David in Toronto
