In areas with a high incidence of snails, even potted plants are not safe from the voracious animals - this self-adhesive copper tape counteracts this. Applied directly under the rim once around the pot, it forms an effective barrier - because the mucus produced by the snails, in combination with copper, leads to a chemical reaction that damages the snails' mucous membrane through oxidation processes - and ultimately prevents the animals from crawling over a copper strip.

That snails get an electric shock when they come into contact with copper is a theory that is as widely held as it is unproven. What is considered certain, however, is that the slime produced by the snails, when combined with copper, causes a chemical reaction that damages the animals' mucous membranes through oxidation processes - ultimately preventing the animals from crawling over a copper strip. We offer repellents that owe their effect to a proportion of pure copper - they are suitable for beds and pots.
