Rentokil Slug & Snail Barrier Tape 4m – Non-Toxic Copper Tape

Rentokil Slug & Snail Barrier Tape is a non-toxic adhesive copper tape designed to help protect plants, pots and containers from slugs and snails without the use of conventional chemical pesticides or poison.

The copper tape creates a physical barrier that slugs and snails avoid crossing, helping prevent them from reaching vulnerable plants. This makes it a simple and convenient choice for gardeners looking for a poison-free slug and snail deterrent.

Ideal for use around plant pots, tubs, troughs, tree trunks and other suitable garden areas, the self-adhesive backing makes the barrier quick and straightforward to install. Simply apply the tape in a continuous band around the area you want to protect.

Each roll contains 4 metres of copper barrier tape, providing enough material to protect up to 10 plant pots measuring approximately 12.5 inches each, depending on application.

With no poison required, Rentokil Slug & Snail Barrier Tape provides a practical alternative for households looking to reduce the use of chemical pest-control products around their plants.
