Copper Tape for Slugs and Snails

£8.90

This copper tape protect your garden from unwanted pests and has been designed to provide a natural barrier against slugs and snails. When they come into contact with the copper surface, it creates a mild reaction that encourages them to turn away. Offers an effective, eco-friendly solution for protecting pots, raised beds, and greenhouse shelving, while remaining safe for children, pets, and wildlife.

Apply around plant pots, raised beds, greenhouse shelves, or along the edges of vegetable patches where slugs are most active.

  • 25 mm wide x 13.7 metres long
  • Chemical-free and safe for use around children, pets, and wildlife
  • Weather-resistant with strong adhesion, even in damp outdoor conditions

Using Copper Slug Tape
Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. Measure and cut the required length, peel away the backing, and press the tape firmly into place around pots, raised beds, greenhouse legs, or other areas you wish to protect. Make sure the tape forms a continuous line with no gaps or overlaps, as slugs and snails can bypass incomplete barriers. For best results, apply ahead of peak slug activity and check regularly to keep the surface clean and unobstructed.

Where to Apply
This copper tape is suitable for a range of outdoor surfaces, including terracotta, plastic, metal, and wood. It works well on plant pots, seed trays, compost bins, greenhouse shelving, raised beds, and along the edges of vegetable plots. When properly applied, it provides reliable protection in all weather conditions.

Why Maintenance Matters
Over time, dirt and plant debris can reduce the effectiveness of the copper. To keep it working at its best, wipe the surface occasionally with a damp cloth to maintain exposure and ensure continued performance.
