Well worth it, I was dubious but this works.
I used it around my rabbit's hutch, and its brilliant. Apparently slugs love rabbit food, and are willing to slime up a two tier rabbit hutch and squish through the wire to fill their foot mouths! I am used to fighting a battle with my plants, but really! I had to go out every night and hunt them, not hard as they were either climbing up, squishing through or covering the bowl and all around it. The rabbits have absolutely no table manners and dig through their food so its everywhere, they're idiots too! On one night I went out and filled a takeaway container, twice, and I mean filled. I then found out that just as in the case with dogs, slugs can cause rabbits to be extremely ill. So one night against my principles but in keeping to Supernatural (tv show) I encircled to hutch with salt, therefore making it the slugs own fault if they went over to certain death. Some of the little gastropods must have been on the underside of the hutch, little suckers, but was a lot better. Salt is fine until it rains and the salt goes plus the horrific slug death! However bought this stuff and stuck it around both layers of the hutch. Very easy to put it place with a very easy backing. No slugs, absolutely none and if one tries, it gets an electric shock, so basically tasered, I can live with that. Don't know how long the tape will last, it has started going green as copper does when outside but I can't see any difference on slug watch.

Nice product!
Purchased this role after reading the reviews and decided I would buy this nice thick one, as I could cut the tape into strips. I use it to line the rim of my veg pots to stop the slugs.Unfortunately, it doesn’t stop snails but slugs are my main issue. It has saved quite a few of my plants especially when they are tiny seedlings. If I use a large tray, I just put it around the outside . I also used it round the legs of my shelving in my poly tunnel. It does eventually get the Verdigris layer, but that’s easily buffed off.Once I’ve run out I shall definitely be purchasing again.

Buzz Off, Copper!
Shielding your guitar's wiring loom from outside interference helps reduce humming and buzzing - as long as you do the job properly.This tape is good as the adhesive is conductive so you can overlap pieces without soldering (a dreadful job).The roll has plenty of tape for possibly two guitars - don't forget to shield all cavities AND under the pickguard if it carries pots and switches etc.This tape has good adhesive qualities so will tear if you're not careful.Use good sharp scissors to trim and go slowly to avoid the copper curling when the backing is removed.All in all, well priced and effective.

10/10 would shield again
I used this to shield the inside of my guitar, and the results actually blew me away (not exaggerating). I went from having persistent, frustrating hum when amped up, down to practically none!! Takes a bit of time, but absolutely worth it, especially on your studio axes!

Copper Foil Tape
I bought this to get rid of slugs getting into the food in my cats shelter.. Started off ok, for a day or two no slugs but low and behold they are back last night had 4 of the bleeders. am about to see if I have missed anywhere round the opening that they could be getting in but I don't think so. I think I have super slugs that are immmune to this copper foil and beer. nothing seems to deter them.

Good snails stopper
I put two turns of this tape around the trunk of a flowering cherry tree in my garden and it stopped the snails climbing the tree to feast on the leaves. Its only been a few days since I applied it and the weather has been wet but I have watched the snails start to climb the tree and stop about 10mm from the copper tape, traverse around the trunk before heading back down. Prior to this I had applied grease bands and sticky bands without success.

Goodbye slugs
I have two rabbit hutches and when the wet weather comes the slugs drive me mad, eating and sliming their food, which they then the rabbits don't eat. Because I have do have rabbits that have free run of the garden in daylight hours I can not use the usual slug pellets etc After reading some reviews and also watching a couple of youtube videos regarding slug control. The 2 inch guitar copper tape was given as having overall far better results. I'm three weeks in, should have used this method a lot sooner.. The rabbits I'm sure are alot happier without the slugs nighttime visits, I'm very happy..I found it very easy to apply, doing it when only when the wood was bone dry. so far no peeling. The wood has been stained so not sure if this has helped.£12 well spent with plenty left to reapply when needed, maybe do the odd plant pot.

Oh, no - doesn't work at all! Might as well have put out a welcome mat for the snails.
I ordered this because heavy rain was forecast after a long dry spell, so I knew that dozens of slugs and snails were about to emerge from their hiding places, hell bent on munching their way through my pots. So I bought some copper tape. That'll stop 'em, I thought.So, did it keep them at bay? Like hell it did! I went out to check at 10pm and there were five fairly large snails on my test plant, all gorging on the new shoots (in fairness, I should point out that only some of the damage in this picture is from last night - the rest is from the last rainy period a few weeks ago). I thought that two one-inch-thick bands of copper would be impossible for a medium-sized snail to cross. I was wrong. So very wrong. There were so many on there at once that I even wondered if they were being attracted to the new, every-so-shiny plant pot - like a neon sign saying 'snail buffet, all you can eat'. I ended up drowning the little rascals in Guinness. That showed 'em.In future, I'll stick to my tried-and-tested method: buy a 2-litre plastic bottle of cheap cider and, when it rains, drink half, cut off the top to create a highly portable cider-filled bucket and stagger round the garden sending every snail to a crisp, refreshing death. Do that two rainy nights in a row and the local mollusc population seems to crash, solving the problem for a month or two.
