Slugs and snails hate copper because their slime reacts with it, so protect pots and containers from slugs and snails with self-adhesive copper tape.Copper tape for slugs S09-10 is made of 0.05mm copper foil coated with 0.05mm pressure-sensitive glue or conduct glue.
Copper tape for slug protection - You can wrap copper tape around the roots of small plants and seedlings to protect them. This will act as a deterrent to slugs but will not kill them. When slugs and snails come into contact with the copper tape, a weak chemical reaction occurs, causing them to retreat.
The slug deterrent copper tape is environmentally friendly and non-toxic. No need to exclude children and pets from the treatment area.
Of all the materials tested, Copper Tape is ideal for placement around pots, planters, containers, and raised garden beds when slugs are encountered.
Copper tape for slugs Features

Copper tape for slugs Applications
According to experiments slugs and snails hate copper because their slime reacts with it, but when the copper foil is too narrow it is not ideal for repelling slugs and snails, so you need to use self-adhesive copper tape that is wide enough to protect planters and containers from slugs and snails. Use our best-selling copper slug tape to protect pots and containers from slugs, but for snails, or both, use flexible slug and snail tape or our serrated copper snail tape.When the copper foil is too narrow, we stick two strips of copper foil and connect the positive and negative terminals of a 9V battery with solder, so that when a slug or snail passes through the strips of copper foil, it will connect the positive and negative terminals of the battery, and the battery will start to work and generate an electric current, which will make the slug or snail feel uncomfortable but won't kill it, so that it can keep slugs away from the pots and protect the plants in the pots from being attacked by slugs and snails.
You can wrap the copper tape around the base of small plants and seedlings to protect them, or you can wrap a loop of copper tape around the outside of the pot to stop slugs and snails from attacking the plants. A copper strip narrower than 3 inches allows slugs/snails to pass through unimpeded.
Copper tape can be used in the home to decorate stained glass, paper circuits, handmade DIY, or for home appliance repair and soldering.
