COPPER FOIL TAPE?
I read somewhere that snails and slugs will avoid copper, I wrapped a piece of copper wire around the trunk of a papaya tree that attracted snails daily(2 or 3 times around) and have not seen a snail on the tree since. Has anyone else had similar results with copper? I was thinking of wrapping some wire around my catchment to keep the snails off, then I found a copper foil tape online 2" 55 yds for $50. it seems like this would be a simple solution to the problem I am having with the snails on my catchment. Has anyone tried copper to keep snails away? Any comments on the use of copper foil tape to keep snails and slugs away?
