I have a huge slug problem with all my flower beds and my deck-top veggie garden this year. So, I did my research and slugs hate copper. You can sprinkle it into the soil and so many other ways but this way for my roof top garden worked wonders. Any pot that had a strip of the tape didn't get touched. It's best to apply small strips at a time. Leave the backer on the sticky part you are not applying yet and then go around the pot and take it off as you go or you will end up with a ball of tape in your hand. The tape is very thin copper. It has great adhesive though and has stayed on these fabric pots through rain and storms and dirt. It is a bit dirty now but still keeps the slugs away. can be polished up with some vinegar I think. I put the tape around the base of a larger magnolia bush that was getting devastated by slugs as well. YEP IT WORKS! They stopped bother it. I will do this was some vines I have as well. AMAZING for organic barrier methods for pest control. Has become a valuable part of my IPM now. Thx tape.

I love to grow basil and it is like crack for slugs and snails! Normally it will only last 3 or 4 days before the pests have eaten it all! But if you put this tape around the rim of your planter, the plants are safe. What a relief!

It worked well shading my guitar. It is a little tricky getting it into tight areas, but the end result was good.

I used this tape around the perimeter of my raised garden bed to keep the slugs out, and it worked wonders. The copper material naturally repels these slimy critters, and the strong adhesive on the tape made it easy to apply and keep in place.The quality of this tape is exceptional. It is durable and easy to handle, with just the right amount of flexibility to make it easy to work with. The 2-inch width and 66-foot length of the roll make it an excellent value, as it provides plenty of tape for even the largest projects.

This tape worked well for my project. The only negative is that when you have a long piece and are removing the backing, the tape often starts to tear lengthwise.

This tape is good, it is a bit hard to handle being so thin and so sticky. I cut strips and taped them to thin foam sheets to put around the stalks of my plants. I did play around with a slug on some. They don't seem to care for it much, but they will cross it (though this slug was probably agitated as I'd moved it around for a while). It funny--the slug after being on the copper for a few minutes actually started to turn green. I did find a slug one morning sort of snuggled up against the tape (he was green) and was pretty sluggish.I used beer traps as my main defense, the copper strips were for backup. Once the cups and strips were in the pots, I have not seen a slug actually on a plant. In the dirt, yes, and plenty of slug corpses in the cups. With both these countermeasures in place, I don't worry about slugs anymore. Now, the darned grasshoppers and beetles at them.

I tried a small roll of copper tape years ago, and it worked pretty well. I could not find any this year locally so ordered through Amazon. I wanted a large roll that was a wider height, so this roll at 2"x66' seemed like a great deal. I was pleased with the packaging and the quality of the copper tape. I started out by wrapping a ring around the base of each of my young fruit trees. Every spring I find snails all the way up high, eating young leaves and blossoms. Drives me crazy.I also made recycled cottage cheese or yogurt rings to put around my baby squash plants and tender flowers that usually get eaten up by snails, even when I've spread Sluggo around each one. My baby plants have NO eaten leaves so far ( going on 2 weeks now) and my 8 fruit trees have no snails on the young branches so far and I have checked daily in the mornings. Is this tape easy to use? I would have to say no. The copper itself is very thin and hard to work with, as you can see in my middle picture. It wants to crimp and never lays smooth for me. But I do not care, since it is for outside in the garden and no one is really looking at it closely. I will warn you to ONLY peel off about 1 " at a time, since the backing is terrific to peel, but the copper is a royal pain. I've gotten really good at making my rings to put around my little treasured garden veggies ( I cut a slit through the plastic ring) to make it easier to place around the baby plant. I've been cutting the tape in half for each ring, since I do not need to use the whole 2" tape. So I get two copper taped rings in one, so to speak. I am extremely pleased with my results so far. No snails on my pear or two cherry trees so far, that have had them every spring for 4 years now. My next attempt will be to put a copper ring around the top of several new container pots, to see if I can keep snails from getting down to dirt level inside. This tape is just great for my gardening needs, but takes some patience thats for sure. And remember NOT to peel all the backing off all at once or you may just go a bit crazy or scream at your own stupidity. Neat stuff. Great product, great price.

This is high quality, pure copper tape with excellent adhesive.A very good price for 66 feet.I use it to shield the pickup cavity on electric guitars.It works so well that after I applied it to a somewhat noisy Stratocaster, I thought the guitar wasn't working. It became quieter than it ever has been.With 66 feet, you'll have enough to shield several guitars.No matter what you need it for, at this low price, you can't afford not to buy it.It is exactly as described in the listing and it was packaged well and shipped quickly.I'm very happy with this purchase and I will buy from this seller again.
