How to create the most effective slug barrier: The most effective place to use the Flexi Copper Slug Tape is actually around the very top of the plant pot, folding the edges over the lip leaving no exposed area at the top.
Prolong the life of the Flexi Copper Adehsive Tape: Applying the tape indoors or during warmer conditions (ideally between 15°C and 20°C) will help the adhesive reach its ultimate bond strength and will last longer.
The flexi design means that you can use it easily on uneven and irregular surfaces, just press the tape into the contours of the surface so that the adhesive is fully stuck down. This will ensure that it lasts longer as no rain or dirt can get beneath it.
Caring for your copper slug barrier: Periodically clean the copper slug barrier with a mild detergent such
as washing up liquid or a copper cleaner using a sponge or soft cloth. Ensuring the surface is shiny promotes a
stronger deterrent for the slugs and snails.
