Protect your precious Dahlias, Hostas, and seedlings without resorting to harmful chemicals with this effective Copper Barrier Tape.
This self-adhesive copper strip offers a safe, organic solution to one of the gardener's biggest headaches. When slugs or snails attempt to cross the copper, their mucus creates a mild, uncomfortable static reaction (similar to a tiny electric shock), forcing them to retreat instantly.
Supplied as a 4-metre roll, it is easy to apply around the rims of pots, planters, cold frames, and raised bed legs. Unlike pellets, this method is entirely non-toxic, ensuring your garden remains a safe haven for birds, hedgehogs, pets, and children while keeping your prized plants intact.
Key features:
-
Chemical-Free Control: Protects plants without harming the wider ecosystem
-
Scientific Barrier: Creates a mild static charge that repels molluscs instantly
-
Self-Adhesive: Easy to apply to clean, dry surfaces on pots and troughs
-
Wildlife Friendly: Safe for birds, hedgehogs, cats, and dogs
-
Long-Lasting: The copper naturally oxidises over time but remains effective
Perfect for:
-
Protecting Dahlias, Hostas, and young seedlings
-
Organic and wildlife-friendly gardens
-
Container gardening on patios
-
Gardeners who refuse to use slug pellets
Instructions for use:
-
Ensure the surface of the pot or planter is completely clean and dry before application (crucial for adhesion).
-
Peel off the backing paper and stick the tape in a complete circle around the pot.
-
Ensure there are no gaps in the circle, or slugs will find a way through!
-
Ensure no foliage is bridging the gap over the tape (slugs can use leaves as bridges).
Note: This listing is for a 4-metre roll.
