Slug and Snail Barrier Tape (4m)
Slugs hate copper because of a reaction between their mucus and the copper. Use this self-adhesive copper tape on your pots and containers to form a barrier that slugs will not cross.
Copper Slug Tape is the easy way to protect pots and containers from slugs. Each roll of slug tape is 4m (13ft) in length and is 3cm wide. A 4m roll is enough to go round 4 to 5 x 30cm/12″ pots.
This self adhesive copper tape can be wrapped around the rim or base of the pot creating a physical barrier slugs will not cross. Slugs that crawl up the outside of the pot are repelled and will hurry away.
