How effective is copper tape/wire at deterring slugs & snails?
Has anyone used copper metal tape or wiring to make barriers around seedlings and pots to deter slugs from eating the plants? Are such barriers effective?
Hi, it’s pretty good , if you can keep it in place. The tape doesn’t stick very well because you need to water,and the wire, or strips never stay in place. But they do repel the snails and slugs because it gives off an electrical charge when they crawl (do they crawl or slither?) over it. Another thing you can use is, Dietomatious Earth. The kind that’s used in pool filters. Sprinkle it around your plants. It won’t hurt the plants and keeps the things at bay. Bye
