Copper Tape for Slugs and Snails

How to Use Copper Slug Tape in Your Garden

To use, first clean and dry the surface where you’ll apply the tape. Measure and cut the required length, then peel off the adhesive backing and press the tape firmly around the base of pots, garden beds, greenhouse legs, or any other area you want to protect. Ensure there are no gaps or overlaps, as slugs and snails may bypass incomplete barriers. For maximum results, apply before peak slug season and inspect regularly to keep the copper surface clean and debris-free.
