Copper Slug Tape Multibuy 3 x 4m rolls

Product Information

As existing lab studies have shown some of the barriers work, and as other experiments by Hayley hinted that copper tape could be effective, she’s not ruling the barriers out completely. She hopes to run the study again ona different slug population and different soil type at RHS Garden, Harlow Carr in 2019. If you’re using any of these five home remedies to deter slugs and snails, consider carefully whether they are making enough difference to be worth the investment.

While this research hasn’t shed any light on what you can do to obstruct slugs and snails, it has at least shown that these barriers can be unreliableand ineffective.

The green patina developed on copper metal over time is a copper carbonate salt and could be toxic.

Don’t want to kill slugs, just deter them. Someone suggested mint leaves-dry. He/she didn’t know if it worked when wet. I don’t believe in killing slugs–whenever man invades Nature by killing off it’s creatures, it creates an imbalance somewhere else (as we have SLOWLY learned). Man (and other people) are the worst environmental stewards.These methods were tested on 108 lettuces sown in pots and raised beds at the RHS field research facility in Wisley. After six weeks, the leaves of each harvested lettuce were examined to calculate damage.
