Corry's Slug & Snail Copper Tape Barrier, 15 ft. Roll

I've used Corry's Slug and Snail tape for years. I put it on all my flower containers before I plant my flowers. The tape will last for several years before it needs to be replaced. I clean the container with rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball to the place where the tape will placed. That makes sure it's clean and can make good contact. I've never had a slug or snail cross the tape and get into my containers. I have a LOT of containers! This works well for other things if needed; it's a good substitute for duct tape, and it is also a fair electrical conductor.

I applied this tape around the tops of my flower boxes and potted plants. It really works to prevent slugs and snails from intruding my plants. The slimy critters will not cross over the tape. It works even when wet. The tape is chemical free and does not harm the slugs, just gives them an unpleasant sensation when their secretions touch the tape. Simple to use. I tore off the backing and applied to my dry garden containers. The tape was effective for months before needing to be replaced. This is a harmless way to prevent critters from eating large ragged holes in beautiful and well cared for plants.
