Copper Tape "Snail Stopper" Tape for Pot Plants (10m)

This 10-meter adhesive copper tape serves as an effective barrier against slugs and snails in your garden.

When these pests attempt to cross the tape, a tiny electrical charge is naturally generated, repelling them without causing harm. This method offers a humane and environmentally friendly solution to protect your plants.

Features

• Length: 10 meters
• Adhesive Backing: Strong self-adhesive for easy application on various surfaces (not good on wood - will require staples)
• Material: High-quality copper foil

Application

To utilize the copper tape effectively:

1. Clean the Surface: Ensure that the area where the tape will be applied is clean and dry to promote strong adhesion.
2. Apply the Tape: Unroll the desired length of tape and firmly press it onto the surface, creating a continuous barrier around pots, garden beds, or table legs.
3. Maintenance: Regularly inspect the tape to ensure it remains intact and free from debris. Over time, oxidation may reduce its effectiveness; if this occurs, clean the tape with a mild abrasive to restore its functionality.

Implementing adhesive copper tape in your garden provides a non-toxic and sustainable method to deter slugs and snails. Unlike chemical repellents, copper tape poses no risk to pets, children, or beneficial wildlife. Its ease of application and maintenance makes it a practical choice for gardeners seeking an eco-friendly pest control solution.

FAQs

• Is this product safe for all plants? Yes, the copper tape is safe to use around all types of plants and does not release any harmful substances.

• How does the tape repel slugs and snails? When slugs and snails come into contact with the copper surface, a tiny electrical charge is generated, which they find unpleasant, thereby deterring them from crossing the barrier.

• Can the tape be used in all weather conditions? Yes, the adhesive is designed to withstand various weather conditions; however, it's advisable to periodically check the tape's adhesion, especially after heavy rainfall.

• How wide should the tape be to effectively deter slugs and snails? It's recommended to use copper tape that is at least 3 inches (approximately 7.6 cm) wide to ensure effectiveness, as narrower strips may not provide a sufficient barrier.
