Take in where this one is on a citrus tree.

I've found them hidden in the leaves of cherry trees 15 feet above the ground as well.
They climb and hide in the branches and eat like hell.

What's the right way to apply the blue bait? Just sprinkle it all over every 2 weeks?

Not all over.

The bait attracts the snails from a distance

My advice is to either put it in the middle of some 4 inch pvc pipe or at the back of some pigtail buckets lying on the side so its easy to pick up and burn the shells after.

wow, never seen one so big, largest I have seen are around 3" maybe 4 and most are 2-3" max.
that must have a couple lb meat in it.

the ppl who keep them as pets have them that size and sliding on their arms/palms.
