Why Use Growing Success Slug Barrier Copper Tape?
The Growing Success Slug Barrier adhesive copper tape offers a simple yet effective way to protect your potted plants from slugs and snails. It works as a deterrent: when slugs and snails attempt to cross the copper tape, a small electrical charge is created, causing them to retreat from your plant pots.
Expected Results:
You'll find that slugs and snails are reliably deterred from crossing the tape due to the mild electrical charge it produces.
How to Apply:
- Applying the tape is straightforward:
- Prepare the surface of your plant pot, making sure it's dry and clean.
- Peel off the protective paper from the tape and stick it firmly around the pot, as demonstrated in the product picture.
- Ensure good adhesion to the pot, with the tape overlapping by at least 10mm for full coverage.
Over time, the copper tape will naturally change colour to a green patina, known as verdigris, which blends in well with your garden's aesthetic. Rest assured, this colour change will not affect the product's performance in deterring slugs and snails.
