Works very well as anti-slug strip
So far this seems to have been 100% effective as slug and snail protection for plants. We have put circles of the tape around the tops of cardboard loo roll centres, and popped the centres over the top of small seedlings in the vegetable bed, pushing the bottom few mm into the soil. The cardboard supports and protects the seedlings from wind and birds, and the slugs are unable to climb up the cardboard any further than the copper tape ring, so they cannot get at the plant. For closely packed plants we have stuck the foil tape along 4 inch high cardboard strips (made from the Amazon delivery box!) and ringed the row of plants with the cardboard. You can use a stapling gun to join the cardboard strips, and the card lasts surprisingly well in the rain, provided that it can dry out between soakings.

Works well - not a slug or snail has entered ...
Works well - not a slug or snail has entered my raised beds since I put this tape around them. Quite impressed!

Great tape
Have tried a few copper tapes, however this one, 1. Is a great price for the decent length (20m). 2. Applies well even to not perfectly cylindrical objects (It will crease up, however a firm rub round with a back of a spoon and/or microfibre cloth will flatten out any bumps and creases - you will end up with a few crack like formations but that just adds to the overall charm in my book.) 3. The removal of the backing paper is very easy, no scrabbling with fingernails.As you can see I've applied it to the top and middle bands on my big half barrel flower tub (Available on Amazon - It is plastic not wooden so the tape adheres very well). I think it looks good and hopefully will protect the plants I decide to pot up in it from nasty chomping slugs and snails.

Slugs cross it
It didn't work very well, slugs were able to cross it. Maybe it's too thin, not enough copper

Absolute rubbish for slugs
I have read the reviews mostly all good and thought i would give it a try, before wasting my time fitting this to the plant pots thought i would fit it first, i have many plants in my garden that the slugs love with a passion i went browsing through the undergrowth for as many slugs as i could find placed them on the garden path and with a bunch of there best appetizers set about releasing them, to make it a little more interesting i put about 5 strips of this copper foil across so as to make this as hard or easy possible, to put it simple i think it took them a little longer to pass over the foil as they were admiring themselves with the mirror effect....in short it did not work, rubbish, waste of money and its in the bin..... do not buy

Guitarists take note
I used this to shield the cavities in my Telecaster, & it works superbly. It is narrower than tapes meant for the purpose, but I'd seen on the internet that you were best getting copper tape meant for gardening as it's the same stuff, but they don't charge a premium for it. This was much cheaper than any tape sold for the purpose. The self-adhesive backing is fully electrically conductive, so no soldering to get it conducting from piece to piece. Being narrower I had to use more strips, but there was plenty to do my Tele, & probably a couple more too.Highly recommended for this purpose.I haven't got a garden so couldn't say how it is for slugs.

Doesn't work for plant protection (for me anyway)
I applied this tape around the rim of a pot, but then found a snail in the pot the very next night, eating my veg! So unless I have super-hardy snails that can withstand electric shock, or the creatures have worked out how to abseil down from above, it doesn't work.

Good copper foil tape.
Have been using copper foil tapes for a number of years. These seem to work against slugs. Bought this for the garden. Good length copper foil tape with strong adhesive.Have ordered another of the same.

scaccia le lumache
Beh io non ci avevo mai creduto, ma è assolutamente vero: scaccia le lumache. Si mangiavano le foglie della mia salvia… adesso gli è finita la pacchia. ovviamente funziona soltanto in vaso (cioè: costruendo una "cornice" di adesivo rame attorno al bordo del vaso), le piante interrate nel terreno no.

Todo OK
Cumple perfectamente su función, es conductora por sus dos caras y pega perfectamente en todas las superficies en las que la he probado, su color es cobre puro y brillante y no se oxida. Todo OK

Pas pour mon utilisation
J'ai acheté ce ruban pour éviter que des limaces envahissent mon potager, je souhaitais un moyen écologique et ce système était conseillé. donc doit peut être bien fonctionner pour d'autres utilisations mais pas pour celle que l'on m'avait recommandé
