No Go Slug & Snail Copper Tape (4m)

In stock
SKU
W1837

Product Information:

Pack contains 4m,
With the reduction in the use of chemicals in the garden we now offer, as well as our Slug Traps, a NO GO Slug & Snail Copper Tape.

HOW IT WORKS:
When the slug or snail attempts to cross the copper tape a small electrical charge is created from the copper and the slug or snail will not cross the tape, protecting your plants from damage and without the use of chemicals.

HOW TO USE:
First cut the length of tape to form a complete loop of the pot or frame that is to be protected.
For protection from snails as well as slugs cut V grooves all around the bottom of the tape before removing the backing tape and applying to a dry clean surface.
For protection from slugs only there is no need to cut grooves, simply apply a circle of copper tape.

Pack contains 4m of Copper Tape for a chemical free protection from Slugs & Snails

How does this stop slugs and snails?

Copper gives the slugs and snails a little static electric shock, so they will not cross it. Snails are slightly more resistant to the shock, so cutting a V shape in to the tape helps as their shell can get caught on the edges which holds them on the tape for slightly longer making it more effective.
