FAQs
Q: How does copper slug tape work?
A: When slugs touch copper, it creates a mild electric-like sensation that repels them without harming them.
Q: Can I use this on plastic pots?
A: Yes — just ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying.
Q: How wide should the barrier be?
A: We recommend two strips side-by-side to create a 40mm-wide barrier for best results.
Q: Is this pet- and wildlife-friendly?
A: Yes — it contains no chemicals and doesn’t harm animals or beneficial insects.
Important Notes:
Due to its copper composition, the tape will gradually develop a patina over time. However, this change in colour does not impact the product's performance.
Best used in conjunction with other humane deterrents. The tape won't stop 100% of slugs and snails.
How to use
